# Chef Secrets:

01 -
  • It takes less time to make than it does to find a snack in the pantry, and it actually fills you up.
  • The combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy hits every craving at once without feeling heavy.
  • You can customize it with whatever you have on hand, so it never gets boring.
02 -
  • If you skip warming the peanut butter, it will clump and stick to the spoon instead of drizzling smoothly over the apples.
  • Slice the apples just before assembling or they'll start to brown, which doesn't affect the taste but makes them less appealing to kids.
03 -
  • Use a small ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to drizzle the peanut butter if you want more control and less mess.
  • Make a double batch and keep the toppings in separate bowls so everyone can build their own plate, it turns snack time into an activity.
