# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under ten minutes, which means you can satisfy a craving before it turns into full blown hanger.
  • The combination of crisp apple, creamy peanut butter, and crunchy nuts hits every texture you want in a snack.
  • You can customize it endlessly based on what you have in the pantry, so it never gets boring.
02 -
  • Warming the peanut butter is not optional if you want a clean drizzle, I learned this after trying to spread cold peanut butter with a spoon and ending up with torn apple slices.
  • Use a sharp knife to core and slice the apples thinly, thick slices make it harder to layer and the toppings slide off more easily.
  • If you are making this for kids, skip the honey for anyone under one year old and use maple syrup instead.
03 -
  • Use a fork to drizzle the peanut butter instead of a spoon for thinner, more controlled lines that look more elegant.
  • Toast the coconut in a dry skillet for a minute or two before sprinkling it on top, the nutty aroma and deeper flavor make a noticeable difference.
  • If you want to make this feel more decadent, add a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over the top right before serving, it balances the sweetness and makes everything taste more complex.
