Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1–2 tablespoons warm water
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Rinse and dry 3 medium apples. Core and slice into thin, even wedges about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
- Spread the apple slices out on a large plate or shallow dish, overlapping slightly to resemble a nacho platter.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine ½ cup creamy peanut butter with 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional) and 1 tablespoon warm water. Microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and pourable but not hot (about 30-45 seconds).
- Use a spoon or small whisk to drizzle the warm peanut butter sauce evenly over the apple slices in thin ribbons.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top. If desired, scatter chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp apples and smooth peanut butter drizzle.
Notes
Warm the peanut butter gently to achieve a smooth drizzle consistency. Use lemon juice on apple slices if prepping ahead to prevent browning. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
