Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium apples (about 14 oz), thinly sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
- ⅓ cup (5.6 tbsp) peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- ¼ cup (3 tbsp) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts (walnuts or peanuts, optional)
- A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and slice 2 medium apples into thin rounds about ⅛-inch thick. Arrange slices on a large serving plate, slightly overlapping.
- Warm ⅓ cup peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 15-20 seconds until soft enough to drizzle. Stir gently.
- Drizzle the warmed peanut butter evenly over the apple slices using a spoon or piping bag.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup chocolate chips over the peanut butter and apples.
- If desired, drizzle 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup, sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped nuts, and add a pinch of ground cinnamon.
- Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.
Notes
Warm peanut butter slightly for easier drizzling. Slice apples just before serving to prevent browning. Add a teaspoon of warm water to peanut butter if too thick. Use lemon juice on apple slices to slow browning. Serve immediately for best texture.
