Print Recipe

Crisp apple slices layered with a warm peanut butter drizzle, chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, and shredded coconut. A quick, satisfying snack that feels indulgent but is ready in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended), cored and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Slice the apples: Core the apples and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a large plate or platter, slightly overlapping like shingles. (Optional: toss with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.)
  2. Make the peanut butter drizzle: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, coconut oil, and honey. Stir constantly until smooth and runny, about 2 minutes. Alternatively, microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
  3. Drizzle the apples: Using a spoon or small measuring cup, drizzle the warm peanut butter mixture evenly over the apple slices. Avoid drowning them—aim for a nice even coating.
  4. Add the toppings: Sprinkle the chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, and shredded coconut over the top. Finish with a tiny pinch of sea salt.
  5. Serve immediately: These are best eaten right away while the apples are still crisp and the drizzle is warm. Grab a fork and dig in.

Notes

Use cold apples for best texture. Do not overheat the peanut butter drizzle—low and slow is key. This recipe is best assembled just before serving; apples will brown and soften if left too long. For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter and omit chopped peanuts. To toast coconut, dry-fry in a pan for 2 minutes.
