Recipe Yield: 2–3 servings

INGREDIENTS

2 large apples, thinly sliced
3 tbsp creamy peanut butter
3 tbsp mini chocolate chips

Optional (light sprinkle of any of the following spices for added flavor): 
⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of pumpkin pie spice
⅛ tsp apple pie spice

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prep the Apples:
Wash and core the apples. Slice them thinly and arrange the slices in a single overlapping layer on a serving plate or platter.

2. Drizzle with Peanut Butter:
In a small microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter for 15–20 seconds until pourable. Using a spoon, drizzle it evenly over the apple slices.

3. Add Chocolate Chips:
Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips evenly over the warm peanut butter. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor!

HELPFUL TIPS TO PERFECT THIS RECIPE

• Use Firm, Crisp Apples: Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples hold their shape and add a refreshing crunch.
• Warm the Peanut Butter Slightly: This helps it drizzle smoothly and coats the apples evenly without clumping.
• Serve Immediately for Best Results: The apples may release moisture over time, so prep just before serving to keep them fresh and crisp.
