Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 crisp and juicy apples (Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith)
  • 1/2 cup smooth or chunky peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Optional Toppings

  • Chia seeds
  • Honey
  • Cinnamon
  • Granola
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Crushed nuts
  • Thin slices of banana or strawberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Wash and core your apples thoroughly. Then slice them into even, bite-sized rounds or wedges to ensure each piece can hold the peanut butter without breaking.
  2. Prevent Browning: Brush or gently dip the apple slices in lemon juice to keep them fresh and vibrant, preventing discoloration while you prepare the rest of the snack.
  3. Spread the Peanut Butter: Using a butter knife or small spoon, spread a generous layer of peanut butter evenly across each apple slice without going over the edges.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle your chosen toppings such as chia seeds, cinnamon, granola, or mini chocolate chips over the peanut butter to add extra flavor and texture.
  5. Serve Immediately or Chill: Enjoy your Peanut Butter Apple Slices right away for the best crunch, or refrigerate them briefly if you prefer a cooler, firmer bite.

Notes

  • Choose firmer apple varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp to prevent sogginess.
  • Use room temperature peanut butter for easier spreading and better texture.
  • Slice apples with a sharp knife for clean, even pieces.
  • Skip added sugars as natural sweetness is sufficient.
  • Assemble the snack just before serving to keep apples crisp and peanut butter fresh.
