Ingredients
- Apple 1 medium
- Raw almonds 1 oz
Method

Prepare the Apple.
Wash the apple thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues. Dry it with a clean towel. Using a knife, carefully cut the apple into slices or bite-sized pieces. You can remove the core and seeds if you prefer.
Tip: Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts and avoid slipping. If you want, you can peel the apple, but leaving the skin adds extra fiber and nutrients. -
Measure the Almonds.
Measure out 1 ounce (28 grams) of raw almonds. You can use a kitchen scale for accuracy or estimate by using a small handful.
Tip: Choose raw, unsalted almonds for the healthiest option. Avoid roasted or flavored almonds if you want to keep the snack natural. -
Serve and Enjoy.
Place the apple slices and almonds on a plate or in a bowl. You can eat them separately or combine bites of apple and almonds for a balanced taste and texture.
Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon on the apple slices or add a small drizzle of honey if desired.
Pro tips
- To keep apple slices from browning, you can dip them briefly in lemon water (1 tablespoon lemon juice in 1 cup water).
- Store almonds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
