# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 10 minutes, no cooking required, which means you can make it while your coffee is still hot.
  • It tastes like dessert but feels like nutrition, so you don't have to feel guilty letting your kids eat it.
  • The contrast between crisp cold apples and creamy warm peanut butter is genuinely addictive.
02 -
  • If you slice your apples too far in advance, they'll oxidize and turn brown, so do this right before serving for the best presentation.
  • Warming the peanut butter makes all the difference—cold peanut butter won't drizzle smoothly and you'll end up with chunky spots.
03 -
  • Keep your apples in the fridge until the last possible moment so they're as crisp as possible when they hit the plate.
  • If you're making these for guests, prepare everything ahead but only assemble right before serving—the apples stay fresher and the whole thing looks more intentional.
