Ingredients
- medium apple 1 piece
- walnuts 1 oz
Method
-
Wash the apple.
Rinse the apple thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residues. Dry it with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Tip: Use a fruit brush if available to clean the apple skin more effectively. -
Core and slice the apple.
Place the apple on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the apple into quarters. Remove the core and seeds from each quarter. Then slice each quarter into bite-sized pieces or thin slices, depending on your preference.
Tip: Be careful while cutting; use a stable cutting board and keep fingers away from the blade. -
Prepare the walnuts.
Measure out 1 ounce (about 28.4 grams) of walnuts. If the walnuts are in large pieces, you can roughly chop them into smaller pieces for easier eating.
Tip: Chopping walnuts slightly releases their flavor and makes them easier to eat with the apple slices. -
Combine and serve.
Place the apple slices on a plate or bowl. Sprinkle the walnuts evenly over the apple pieces. Your snack is ready to enjoy immediately.
Tip: For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top, but this is optional.
Pro tips
- To prevent apple slices from browning, you can lightly squeeze some lemon juice over them before adding walnuts.
- Use fresh walnuts stored in a cool, dry place for the best flavor and crunch.
