Scale
- 2 medium apples – Fresh apples
- 4 tablespoons – Natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon – Lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon – Ground cinnamon
- Pinch – Sea salt
Instructions
- Prep apples – Wash apples thoroughly, remove cores, and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds or wedges

Notes
- Choose crisp apple varieties like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Granny Smith for optimal texture contrast with the creamy peanut butter.

- Cut apples just before serving to preserve maximum crunch and prevent oxidation browning.
- Store peanut butter at room temperature 30 minutes before use for easier spreading and mixing.
