Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large apples (any firm variety like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- 1 cup granola
- 1 cup peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter)
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 tablespoons raisins or dried cranberries
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly.
Using a paring knife or an apple corer, carefully core each apple, removing the seeds and creating a hollow center. Be careful not to cut all the way through the bottom of the apple so the filling stays in place.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the granola, peanut butter, raisins or dried cranberries, chocolate chips (if using), ground cinnamon, and honey (if desired). Stir until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Stuff each hollowed apple with the prepared filling. Use a spoon to press the filling down so it’s tightly packed and fills the apple completely.
Wrap each apple in parchment paper or wax paper to make them portable and easy to eat.
Optionally, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes if you prefer a slightly firmer texture for the filling.
Enjoy your Walking Apples as a healthy snack or dessert on the go!
