Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 2 medium apples, cut into thin slices

Nut Butter

  • ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter, melted

Toppings

  • ¼ cup peanut butter granola
  • ¼ cup peanuts, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Wash and core the apples, then slice them thinly to create an even layer of crisp apple slices for the base of the dish.
  2. Arrange Apple Slices: Neatly arrange the thin apple slices on a serving plate in a single layer to ensure each bite is covered with toppings.
  3. Melt Peanut Butter: Gently melt the creamy peanut butter until it reaches a drizzle-friendly consistency, either by microwaving in short bursts or using a double boiler method.
  4. Drizzle Peanut Butter: Spoon the melted peanut butter evenly over the arranged apple slices to coat them lightly and add a creamy texture.
  5. Add Crunchy Toppings: Sprinkle the peanut butter granola over the peanut butter-drizzled apples to introduce a sweet and crunchy element.
  6. Top with Peanuts: Scatter the chopped peanuts across the entire dish for added texture and nutty flavor.
  7. Serve with Extra Peanut Butter: Use the remaining melted peanut butter as a dipping sauce for extra indulgence and flavor enhancement.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith or Fuji for a good balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure the granola is certified gluten-free.
  • Optionally, you can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different flavor profile.
  • Serve immediately to prevent the apple slices from browning; sprinkle a little lemon juice on the slices to slow oxidation if preparing ahead.
