Ingredients
5 large apples (Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji)
2 tablespoons creamy nut butter (almond, peanut, or sunflower butter)
1/4 cup dairy-free mini chocolate chips
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, to prevent browning)
Instructions
Wash the apples thoroughly under cool running water.
Slice the apples into thin, even wedges using a sharp knife.
If desired, toss the apple slices in a light coating of lemon juice to prevent oxidation.
Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on a large platter or serving tray.
Warm the nut butter slightly in the microwave or a small pan to achieve a drizzling consistency.
Drizzle the warmed nut butter evenly over the apple slices.
Sprinkle the dairy-free chocolate chips over the top of the apples and nut butter.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though they are best enjoyed fresh. Feel free to add extra toppings like shredded coconut, hemp seeds, or a drizzle of agave nectar for added texture and flavor.
