Ingredients:
-2 apples of choice
-1/4 – 1/3 cup natural nut butter (peanut, almond, sunflower, etc.)
-small handful chocolate chips
-small handful shredded coconut
-small handful slivered almonds, optional
-sprinkle of cinnamon
-1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
1. Wash, core and cut your apples into 1/4 inch slices. Lay apple quarters on a flat surface with the inside of the apple facing up, carefully slice your apple into 1/4 inch slices, even 1/2 inch slices is good too. Whatever thickness you prefer, no rules here! Place apple slices in a small bowl with the lemon juice, toss to coat.
2. Heat your nut butter just until warmed and somewhat runny. You can use a small silicone bowl placed in a small pot with just enough water to reach half way up the side of the silicone bowl, heat water on low and gently heat the nut butter until warm and drizzable. Alternatively, warm in the microwave for 20 – 30 seconds.
3. On a serving plate, lay your apple slices in a single layer around the outside edge, then layer another small layer over those but towards the inside center of the plate (like shown in the picture above). Drizzle the nut butter in a circular motion, from the middle of the plate to the outside edge. You can also just zig zag the almond butter from one side to the other if you like. Again, no rules – just do what you feel is best! Top with chocolate chips, coconut flakes, almonds and sprinkle of cinnamon (or whatever you’ve chosen to use as your toppings).
