# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Ready in 10 minutes with zero cooking, so it's perfect when you need something fast and actually good.
  • Kids think they're eating dessert, adults get protein and fruit—everyone wins.
  • The texture play between crispy apples and creamy peanut butter hits different than spreading it on bread.
02 -
  • Slice apples last—the second they hit air they start browning, and no one wants that subtle grittiness from oxidized apple.
  • If you're making this more than five minutes ahead, toss the apple slices in a tiny bit of lemon juice to keep them bright and fresh.
03 -
  • Keep your apples in the crisper so they're already cold—the temperature contrast with warm peanut butter is part of what makes this work.
  • If your peanut butter is hard or old, that 15-second microwave trick is genuinely transformative and worth the extra step every time.
