Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized apples (choose your favorite variety, like Honeycrisp or Fuji)

1 cup creamy peanut butter (or substitute almond butter for a nut-free option)

½ cup granola (opt for your preferred blend)

¼ cup mini chocolate chips (or opt for dried fruit to keep it healthier)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to enhance sweetness)

Juice of half a lemon (to keep apples fresh and prevent browning)

Instructions
 

Preparation of Apples: Begin by thoroughly washing the apples under cool running water. Remove the core and slice each apple into wedges, leaving the skin on to retain texture and nutrients. To prevent the slices from browning, immediately toss them in a bowl with the lemon juice, ensuring they are well-coated. Set aside.

    Blend the Dip: In a mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter. If you're using honey or maple syrup, incorporate it now along with the ground cinnamon. Mix everything together until you've created a smooth, consistent blend. Taste and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding more honey or syrup.

      Prepare Toppings: In another bowl, combine the granola and mini chocolate chips (or dried fruit) together. This blend will serve as the crunchy topping to complement your dip.

        Assemble the Snack: On a serving platter, aesthetically arrange the apple wedges in a circular fashion. Place a small bowl filled with the peanut butter dip in the center of the platter. Generously sprinkle the granola-chocolate chip mixture over the top of the dip, making it visually appealing and inviting.

          Serve & Enjoy: Serve the snack immediately, encouraging everyone to dip the apple wedges into the creamy peanut butter, and then into the crunchy granola mix for a delightful combination of textures and flavors. This snack is perfect for kids or a wholesome treat for yourself!
