Ingredients

• 2 whole Apple (any crisp variety, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
• 4 tablespoons Peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter of choice)
• 2 tablespoons Granola
• 1 tablespoon Mini chocolate chips (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Shredded coconut (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the apples thoroughly under running water and dry them with a clean towel.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, slice each apple horizontally into thin, even rounds (about 1/4 inch thick). Discard the top and bottom of the apple or save them for a different use.

Step 3

Remove the core from each apple slice using a small round cookie cutter or by carefully cutting out the center with a paring knife. You should end up with round apple 'rings.'

Step 4

Spread about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter (or your chosen nut/seed butter) onto one side of half of the apple slices.

Step 5

Sprinkle granola evenly over the peanut butter layer, pressing gently to help it stick. If desired, scatter a few mini chocolate chips or a pinch of shredded coconut on top as additional toppings.

Step 6

Top each peanut butter-topped slice with a matching plain apple slice to form a 'sandwich.' Gently press them together to secure.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a healthy snack or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 hours for later enjoyment.
