Description
Crisp apple rings topped with creamy peanut butter, crunchy granola, and a pop of chocolate—an easy, no-bake snack that tastes like dessert but comes together in minutes.
Ingredients
1 crisp apple (Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji)
Peanut butter, to taste (smooth or crunchy; or almond/sunflower seed butter)
Granola, to taste (any variety)
1 cup dark chocolate chips (optional; swap milk or white chocolate)
Optional toppings: chia seeds, flaxseed, coconut flakes, honey drizzle
Instructions
1. Slice the apple horizontally into ¼-inch rings.
2. Carefully core the center of each ring with a paring knife, spoon, or small cutter.
3. Spread a generous layer of peanut butter over each apple ring.
4. Sprinkle granola evenly over the peanut butter.
5. Top with dark chocolate chips (optional). For a sweeter twist, drizzle with melted chocolate.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy while crisp.
Notes
For nut-free, use sunflower seed butter.
If prepping ahead, lightly brush apple slices with lemon juice to slow browning.
Customize with chia seeds, coconut flakes, or a light honey drizzle.
Great for after-school snacks, brunch boards, or party platters.
