These apple slices are fresh, crunchy, and juicy, providing a crisp texture that contrasts beautifully with the smooth almond butter. The nutty flavor of the almond butter enhances the natural sweetness of the apples, creating a harmonious balance that’s both refreshing and satisfying.

Ingredients

• 2 medium apples, sliced

• 1/2 cup almond butter

• Cinnamon for sprinkling (optional)

• Granola or nuts for topping (optional)

Directions

• Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly and slice them into thin wedges or rounds.
• Serve: Arrange the apple slices on a plate and serve with almond butter on the side for dipping. Sprinkle with cinnamon or top with granola if desired.

Key Prep Tips

1. Choose Firm Apples: Use crisp varieties like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor.
2. Slice Uniformly: Cut the apple into even slices to make them easy to dip and for a consistent eating experience.
3. Prevent Browning: Soak the apple slices in a mixture of water and lemon juice for a few minutes to keep them fresh and vibrant.
4. Smooth Almond Butter: Slightly warm the almond butter if it’s too thick, making it easier to drizzle or dip.

Suggested Variations

• Nut Butter Options: Substitute almond butter with peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for variety.
• Sweet Boost: Drizzle the apple slices with honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
• Crunchy Toppings: Sprinkle with granola, crushed nuts, or coconut flakes for extra texture.
• Spice it Up: Dust with cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spicy kick.

Serving Suggestions

• Snacking: Perfect for a mid-day snack or a light dessert option.
• On-the-Go: Pack apple slices and almond butter separately for a convenient portable snack.
• Beverages: Pair with a warm herbal tea, iced chai latte, or fresh apple cider.
• Presentation: Arrange the apple slices in a fan shape on a plate, with the almond butter drizzled over or served in a small bowl on the side for dipping.
