Apple Slices with Peanut Butter

Ingredients

• Apple 1 medium
• Natural peanut butter 1 tbsp

Method

1. Wash the apple. Rinse the apple under cool running water to remove any dirt or residues. Dry it with a clean towel.
   Tip: Use a fruit brush if available to clean the skin thoroughly.
2. Core the apple. Use an apple corer or a small knife to remove the core from the apple. Be careful to remove all seeds and the tough center.
   Tip: If you don’t have a corer, slice the apple into quarters and cut out the core from each piece.
3. Slice the apple. Cut the apple into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Try to make the slices even for a nice presentation and easy dipping.
   Tip: Use a sharp knife and a cutting board to ensure safety and clean cuts.
4. Prepare the peanut butter. If your natural peanut butter has separated oil, stir it well with a spoon until smooth and creamy.
   Tip: Natural peanut butter tends to separate; stirring helps achieve a good consistency for spreading or dipping.
5. Serve apple slices with peanut butter. Arrange the apple slices on a plate and serve with a tablespoon of peanut butter on the side or spread a little peanut butter on each slice.
   Tip: For easier dipping, you can place the peanut butter in a small bowl.

Pro tips

• To prevent apple slices from browning, you can sprinkle them lightly with lemon juice.
• Use a sharp knife and stable cutting board to safely slice the apple.
