2 tablespoons peanut butter (or almond/cashew butter)

Instructions
-
Slice Apples: Wash and core apples, then slice them thinly and arrange in a single layer on a serving plate.
-
Drizzle Sauce: Warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave (10–15 seconds) to make it easy to drizzle. Drizzle over the apples in zigzag patterns.
-
Add Toppings: Sprinkle with chocolate chips, nuts, granola, and any other toppings of your choice.
-
Serve Immediately: Best enjoyed fresh to keep the apples crisp!
Notes
-
Prevent Browning: Toss apple slices in a bit of lemon juice to keep them from turning brown.

Nut-Free Option: Use sunflower seed butter or yogurt drizzle instead of peanut butter.
-
Make It Dessert: Add a scoop of vanilla yogurt or whipped cream on the side for dipping.
