Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Medium apple (any variety you prefer, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 4 tablespoons Creamy or crunchy nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
- 2 tablespoons Granola (preferably low-sugar)
- 1 tablespoon Dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Wash the apples thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the apples into even slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Discard the seeds and core pieces.
Spread about 1 teaspoon of nut butter onto one side of each apple slice using a butter knife or a small spoon.
Sprinkle a pinch of granola on top of the nut butter to add a satisfying crunch.
Add a few dark chocolate chips to each slice for a touch of sweetness.
If desired, drizzle a light amount of honey over the slices and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
Arrange the apple slices on a serving plate and enjoy immediately. These treats are best served fresh for optimal crunch and taste!
