Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium apples (like Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (or other nut/seed butter)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzle)

Instructions
- Wash and core the apples. Slice them into thin, even rounds or wedges.
- Arrange the apple slices on a platter or individual plates, spreading them out like nachos.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey (if using). Microwave for 10-15 seconds, or until slightly warm and runny, making it easier to drizzle.

Notes
- For younger children, you can peel the apples before slicing.
- Adjust the amount of peanut butter and honey to your family’s preference.
- If your child has a nut allergy, use a seed butter like sunflower seed butter.
- This snack is best enjoyed fresh to prevent the apples from browning.
