Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Slice them into thin, round discs about 1/4 inch thick. Use a small cookie cutter or paring knife to remove the seeds and core from the center of each slice, creating a donut-like shape.
Spread a generous layer of peanut butter evenly onto one side of each apple slice.
Sprinkle granola and mini chocolate chips over the peanut butter layer. If desired, add a sprinkle of chopped peanuts for extra crunch.
Drizzle a small amount of honey over the toppings to enhance the sweetness.
Serve immediately as a fun and healthy snack. If not serving right away, dip the apple slices in a mixture of water and lemon juice (1 cup water to 1 tablespoon lemon juice) to prevent browning, then assemble as instructed.
