Almond Butter and Apple Slices

Ingredients

• almond butter 2 tbsp
• medium apple 1 whole

Method

1. Wash the apple. Rinse the apple thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residues. Use your hands or a soft brush to clean the surface gently.
   Tip: Dry the apple with a clean towel to prevent slipping while cutting.
2. Slice the apple. Place the apple on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the apple into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the core by cutting around it or using an apple corer if available.
   Tip: Cut slices evenly to ensure a pleasant texture and ease of dipping.
3. Prepare almond butter for serving. Spoon 2 tablespoons (28 grams) of almond butter into a small bowl or serve directly on a plate alongside the apple slices.
   Tip: If the almond butter is too thick, stir it briefly to soften for easier dipping.
4. Serve and enjoy. Arrange the apple slices neatly on a plate next to the almond butter. Dip each slice into the almond butter and savor the combination of flavors and textures.
   Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on the apple slices before dipping.

Pro tips

• Use a sharp knife to make clean apple slices and avoid bruising the fruit.
• To keep apple slices from browning if not eaten immediately, dip them briefly in lemon water.
