TIPS
Here are some tips to help you prepare these apple slices with almond butter & granola.
- Choose The Right Apple: Honeycrisp or Fuji apples provide the best balance of sweetness and crunch.
- Prevent Browning: Lightly coat the apple slices with lemon juice to keep them fresh longer.
- Crunch Factor: Use chunky almond butter with apple slices for extra texture.
- Mess-Free Option: Arrange the apple slices in a bowl and drizzle almond butter for easier eating.
- Portable Snack: Assemble in a container for a quick grab-and-go treat.
- Granola Choice: Opt for a lower-sugar granola for a healthier snack.
VARIATIONS
- Nut-Free Alternative: Swap almond butter for sunflower seed butter.
- Berry Twist: Add fresh blueberries or dried cranberries for extra sweetness.
- Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle melted dark chocolate over the apple slices for a dessert version.
- Spiced Apple: Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg for a warming touch.
- Protein Boost: Add a sprinkle of chia or hemp seeds for extra nutrition.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Short-Term Storage: If prepping in advance, store the sliced apple in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Prevent Sogginess: Store granola separately and add it just before serving.
- Travel-Friendly: Assemble in a container and pack it in a lunchbox for a nutritious snack.
- Refrigeration: While best enjoyed fresh, the almond butter-covered slices can be kept in the fridge for up to a day.
- Not Freezer-Friendly: Freezing affects the texture of fresh apples, making them too soft upon thawing.
