Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith recommended)
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup granola
- Optional: flaky sea salt, toasted coconut flakes, melted dark chocolate
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples. Core them and slice into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on a serving platter, overlapping slightly if needed.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter, coconut oil, and maple syrup. Microwave for 20 seconds, then stir. If not smooth, microwave for another 10 seconds and stir again until pourable.
- Drizzle the warm peanut butter mixture evenly over the apple slices.
- Sprinkle mini chocolate chips and granola over the apples. Add any optional toppings if desired.
- Serve immediately while the apples are crisp and the drizzle is warm.
Notes
For best results, use room-temperature peanut butter and coconut oil. Slice apples 1/4-inch thick for optimal texture. Assemble just before serving to keep apples crisp. To prevent browning, toss sliced apples in water with lemon juice and pat dry.
