# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Ready in under 10 minutes, no cooking required, just assembly and flavor.
  • Feels indulgent but delivers real nutrition that actually keeps you satisfied.
  • Kids eat it without complaint because it tastes like a snack, not health food.
02 -
  • Don't skip coring the apples—a mandoline or sharp knife makes thin slicing manageable and consistent.
  • Warming the peanut butter is the difference between a drizzle and a mess, so don't skip this step even though it feels small.
03 -
  • Slice apples right before assembling so they don't oxidize and turn brown—or toss them with a tiny bit of lemon juice if you're prepping ahead.
  • Use a shallow microwave-safe dish for the peanut butter so it heats evenly and you don't accidentally superheat one spot.
