Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large crisp apples (Granny Smith or Fuji recommended)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (natural preferred)
- 1 cup slivered almonds (raw or dry-roasted, no added salt)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup cold water
- Optional: sprinkle of cinnamon
- Optional: drizzle of honey
Instructions
- Wash 2 large apples thoroughly and slice each into 1/4 inch thick wedges, removing the core to create ‘mouth’ slices.
- Mix 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice with 1/2 cup cold water in a small bowl and toss the apple slices quickly in this mixture to prevent browning. Let sit for 2 minutes, then drain on paper towels.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter on one side of half the apple slices using a butter knife or small spatula.
- Press 5-6 slivered almonds into the peanut butter on each slice to resemble monster teeth.
- Place the remaining apple slices on top of the peanut butter and almond-covered slices, peanut butter side down, to form a sandwich.
- Optionally, dust lightly with cinnamon or drizzle with honey for extra flavor. Serve immediately for best freshness and crunch.
Notes
Use lemon juice mixed with water to prevent apple slices from browning. Warm peanut butter slightly if too stiff to spread. Assemble just before serving for best texture. Nut-free and vegan variations possible by substituting nut butters and seeds.
