Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Apples (preferably crisp varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional for added warmth)
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (for vegan option)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Water (to rinse and prepare apples)
Instructions
Wash the apples thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residue.
Slice the apples into even wedges or thin rounds (depending on preference) and remove the seeds or core pieces.
In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, ground cinnamon (if using), and salt.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze fresh lime juice over the apple slices. Toss gently to ensure all slices are evenly coated.
Drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the apple slices, then sprinkle the chili powder mixture evenly over the top.
Use a clean spoon or your hands to toss the apple slices so the spices and seasonings are evenly distributed.
Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours to keep the apples fresh and crisp.
