Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Crisp apples (e.g., Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith)
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.25 tsp Optional: Cayenne pepper (for extra heat)
Instructions
Wash the apples thoroughly under running water to remove any residue or wax.
Slice the apples into thin wedges or rounds, depending on your preference. Remove the core and seeds.
In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, lime juice, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until it forms a smooth, cohesive paste.
If you prefer extra heat, stir in the cayenne pepper at this point.
Place the apple slices in a large mixing bowl or on a tray, and pour the chili-lime mixture over them.
Toss the apple slices gently to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the mixture.
Arrange the coated apple slices on a serving plate, and sprinkle a light pinch of chili powder on top for garnish (optional).
Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer. For best results, enjoy fresh to preserve the crispness of the apples.
