TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Cinnamon Apple Almond Bites:
- Freshness Counts: Use crisp, sweet apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavour.
- Smooth Or Crunchy: Choose smooth or crunchy almond butter based on personal preference.
- Even Spread: Use a small spatula or the back of a spoon for easy spreading.
- Avoid Browning: If prepping ahead, brush apple slices lightly with lemon juice to prevent browning.
VARIATIONS
- Nut-Free: Use sunflower seed butter or tahini for a nut-free version.
- Add Crunch: Sprinkle with chopped nuts or seeds for extra texture.
- Sweet Touch: Drizzle with a touch of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
- Extra Spice: Add a dash of ground ginger or nutmeg for a seasonal twist.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Avoid Browning: To keep apple slices from browning, brush them with lemon juice before storing.
- Freezing: Not recommended, as freezing affects the texture and taste of fresh apple slices.
- Serving: Enjoy straight from the fridge or let sit at room temperature for a few minutes for the best flavour.
