Ingredients
Fruits
- 4 apples
Spread
- 1 ⅓ cups peanut butter
Toppings
- roasted coconut (to taste)
- blueberries (to taste)
- strawberries (to taste)
- sprinkles (to taste)
- white chocolate (for drizzling)
- dark chocolate (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Rinse the apples thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residues.
- Slice the apples: Cut the apples into ½ inch thick slices, discarding the top and bottom slices to have clean, uniform pieces.
- Core the slices: Use a small biscuit or cookie cutter, or a melon baller, to carefully remove the core from each apple slice to create a donut shape.
- Apply peanut butter: Spread 1 ⅓ cups of peanut butter evenly over the top side of each apple slice, ensuring good coverage.
- Add toppings and drizzle: Decorate the peanut butter layer with your choice of roasted coconut, blueberries, strawberries, sprinkles, then drizzle white and dark chocolate over each slice for added flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- Use firm apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
- Natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils works well for a healthier option.
- For easier chocolate drizzling, melt the chocolate gently over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave.
- Customize toppings based on dietary preferences or seasonal fruit availability.
- Serve immediately to prevent apples from browning or prepare in advance and store in an airtight container with a sprinkle of lemon juice to maintain freshness.
