Variations

There are plenty of ways I like to change up this recipe based on what I have on hand:

Swap the almond butter for peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter.

Add a crunch by sprinkling some chopped nuts or granola on top.

Drizzle a little honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness (especially if I’m serving this as a dessert).

Use different apple varieties like Granny Smith for tartness or Fuji for extra sweetness.

Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.

Storage/Reheating

This snack is best enjoyed fresh, but if I need to prepare it ahead:

Storage: I can slice the apples in advance and store them in an airtight container with a little lemon juice to prevent browning. Store the almond butter and cinnamon separately and assemble just before eating.

Reheating: No reheating needed—it’s served cold or at room temperature.

FAQs

What type of apple works best for this recipe?

I prefer using crisp apples like Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala for their sweetness and firm texture. If I like a tart bite, Granny Smith is a great option.

Can I use flavored almond butter?

Yes, as long as I check for added sugars or oils. Flavored almond butters like vanilla or cinnamon can add an extra layer of taste.

Is this recipe suitable for kids?

Absolutely. It’s a fun and healthy snack that kids usually love. I sometimes let them help with the cinnamon sprinkling.

Can I make this nut-free?

Definitely. I can swap almond butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini for a nut-free version that still tastes great.

How can I prevent the apple slices from browning?

I usually toss the slices in a bit of lemon juice if I’m prepping in advance. It helps maintain their color and freshness.
