Crisp apple rounds are spread with creamy peanut butter and dusted with cinnamon for a simple, no-cook snack that balances sweet, salty, and crunchy in every bite. It takes just 5 minutes to put together and needs nothing more than a knife and a plate.
Ingredients
produce
- 1apple
pantry
- 2 tbsppeanut butter
- 0.25 tspcinnamon
Steps
- Rinse the apple under cool water and pat it dry.
- Stand the apple upright on a cutting board and slice off the four sides around the core, leaving the core behind as a thin center piece.
- Discard the core piece, then lay each of the four apple panels flat on the board.
- Slice each panel crosswise into rounds about 1cm thick.
- Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on a plate.
- Scoop about a teaspoon of peanut butter onto the center of each slice.
- Spread the peanut butter evenly to the edges of each slice using the back of a spoon or a butter knife.
- Dust the cinnamon evenly over all the peanut butter-topped slices.
- Serve immediately for the best crunch and freshness.
Tips
- Choose a crisp, slightly tart apple like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best contrast with the sweet peanut butter.
- Slice the apple into rounds rather than wedges so the peanut butter stays put and doesn't slide off.
- Toss the apple slices in a squeeze of lemon juice if you're prepping them ahead, to keep them from browning.
- Sprinkle on a few mini chocolate chips or granola for extra crunch if you like.
