PREPARATION

• Prepare The Apple: Wash the apple thoroughly and slice half of it into thin and even pieces. This ensures that each bite has a perfect balance of crunch and sweetness.
• Apply The Nut Butter: Using a small spoon or butter knife, spread about 1 teaspoon of almond butter evenly over each apple slice. Make sure to cover most of the surface for a rich and creamy taste.
• Top With Seeds: Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds evenly on top of the almond butter. Their crunch adds a lovely texture and a gentle nutty flavour to every bite.
• Add Flavour: Lightly dust the apple slices with ground cinnamon. The warm aroma of cinnamon enhances the natural sweetness of the apple and adds a comforting touch.
• Serve Fresh: Arrange the prepared slices neatly on a plate and serve immediately. This snack tastes best when fresh, as the apple retains its crisp texture and vibrant flavour.
