# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under ten minutes with ingredients you probably already have.
  • The combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy hits every craving at once.
  • Kids love building their own version with different toppings.
  • It feels indulgent but is actually packed with fiber and protein.
02 -
  • If you slice the apples too thick, they become hard to bite through once topped, so aim for slices about a quarter inch thick.
  • Warming the peanut butter makes all the difference in getting an even drizzle instead of clumpy dollops.
  • Serve these within twenty minutes or the apples start to brown and lose their snap.
03 -
  • Use a fork to drizzle the peanut butter in thin streams for better coverage and a prettier presentation.
  • If the peanut butter hardens too quickly, pop it back in the microwave for five seconds.
  • Press the toppings gently into the peanut butter so they stay put when you pick up a slice.
  • Try a mix of sweet and tart apples on the same plate for more complex flavor.
