Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 Red Delicious Apple
  • 1/4 cup Peanut Butter
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons Chopped Walnut Pieces
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons Mini Chocolate Chips
  • Lemon Juice (optional, for preventing browning)

Instructions

  1. Core the Apple: Carefully cut out the core from the apple or remove cores after slicing to ensure clean apple slices ready for topping.
  2. Slice the Apple: Using a large knife, slice the apple into 1/4 inch thick slices, creating the base for each cookie.
  3. Prevent Browning (Optional): To keep the apple slices fresh and crisp-looking, place them inside a zip lock bag and toss them with a small squirt of lemon juice to prevent oxidation and browning.
  4. Dry the Slices: Lay each apple slice on a sheet of paper towel and gently blot the top surfaces with another paper towel to remove excess moisture for better topping adhesion.
  5. Spread Peanut Butter: Evenly spread a layer of creamy peanut butter onto each apple slice, which acts as a flavorful and sticky base for the toppings.
  6. Add Toppings: Generously sprinkle unsweetened coconut flakes, chopped walnut pieces, and mini chocolate chips over the peanut butter on each slice to add texture, crunch, and a touch of sweetness.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Your apple slice cookies are now ready to be enjoyed as a wholesome and delicious afternoon snack.

Notes

  • Use lemon juice sparingly to prevent browning without altering the flavor.
  • Substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for allergy-friendly options.
  • Adjust the quantity of toppings according to your preference for sweetness and crunch.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container and consume within a day for freshness.
