2 medium apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)
4 tbsp creamy almond butter Shop
1 tsp maple syrup Shop
0.25 tsp ground cinnamon Shop
Pinch sea salt

Instructions

1 Wash the apples thoroughly and carefully slice them into wedges, removing the core. Aim for slices about 1/4-inch thick for optimal texture and ease of dipping. This preparation should take approximately 5 minutes.
2 In a small bowl, whisk together the creamy almond butter, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth and well combined. This mixture should be creamy and fragrant, taking about 2-3 minutes to fully emulsify.
3 Arrange the apple slices on a serving platter.
4 Serve the apple slices immediately with the prepared almond butter for dipping. The crisp, cool apple pairs well with the spiced almond butter. This assembly process takes about 2 minutes.
5 If not serving immediately, store any leftover almond butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The apple slices are best enjoyed fresh to maintain their crispness.

Tips & Notes

To slice the apples ahead, soak the wedges for a few minutes in cold water with a little salt stirred in, then rinse and pat dry. This slows browning without adding a sour taste, so the slices hold up in a lunchbox.
Choose almond butter labeled gluten-free, as some are made on shared equipment. The teaspoon of maple syrup can make it seize and thicken at first, so keep whisking, and if it is too stiff to dip, add warm water a teaspoon at a time.
Cut each apple into quarters through the stem, slice the core out of each quarter at an angle, then cut 1/4-inch wedges. Even slices with no seed pocket are sturdier and less likely to snap when you scoop the thick dip.
