Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium-sized firm apples (Fuji or Honeycrisp recommended)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (natural, unsweetened preferred)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 to 3 tablespoons warm water
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, peanuts or walnuts)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Wash and slice the apples into thin rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Arrange the slices evenly on a serving plate, overlapping slightly like nachos.
- In a small bowl or saucepan, combine 1/2 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons honey, and 2 tablespoons warm water. Gently heat on low, stirring constantly until smooth and pourable. Add more warm water if needed to thin the drizzle.
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt, if using. Taste and adjust as desired.
- Drizzle the peanut butter mixture generously over the arranged apple slices.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top for added texture.
- Serve immediately for best crunch and creaminess.
Notes
Use firm apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for best texture. Thin and even slices ensure consistent texture and presentation. Warm water helps thin the peanut butter drizzle to the perfect consistency. Avoid overheating peanut butter to prevent burning. Prepare apples and drizzle separately if making for a group to avoid sogginess. Toss apple slices in lemon juice or cold water to prevent browning if prepping ahead.
