Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh apples (such as Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp) – 2 medium-sized
  • Natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, no added sugar or oils) – 1/2 cup

Optional Toppings

  • Chia seeds – 1 tablespoon
  • Cinnamon – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Honey or maple syrup – 1 tablespoon
  • Chopped nuts or granola – 2 tablespoons
  • Ground nutmeg – a pinch
  • Shredded coconut – 1 tablespoon
  • Dark chocolate (melted) – 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly. Slice them into thin, even rounds or wedges, removing the core to make them easy to eat. Thin slices are easier to bite and stack.
  2. Spread the Peanut Butter: Using a butter knife or small spatula, gently spread a generous layer of peanut butter on one side of each apple slice. Adjust the amount to your preferred creaminess.
  3. Add Optional Toppings: While the peanut butter is still soft, sprinkle chosen toppings such as chia seeds, cinnamon, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor and texture.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Pair two apple slices with the peanut butter sides facing each other or serve open-faced. Arrange on a plate or stack in a container if taking on the go.

Notes

  • Choose crisp, firm apples to maintain texture and structure.
  • Stir natural peanut butter before using to mix oil and solids evenly.
  • Lightly squeeze lemon juice on apple slices to prevent browning.
  • Warm peanut butter gently to make spreading easier and more uniform.
  • If peanut butter softens too much, refrigerate assembled slices briefly for neat handling.
