Method
-
Prepare your workspace.
Find a clean cutting board and a sharp knife. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling food.
Tip: Using a sharp knife helps make cleaner cuts and is safer than a dull knife. -
Wash the apple.
Rinse the apple under cool running water to remove any dirt or residues. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Tip: Washing fruit before cutting helps ensure it’s clean and safe to eat. -
Slice the apple.
Place the apple on the cutting board. Cut the apple into thin slices. To do this, first cut the apple in half from top to bottom, then cut each half into thin slices. Remove the core and seeds as you slice.
Tip: Cutting the apple into thin slices makes it easier to eat and share. -
Measure the nuts.
Take about 1 ounce (a small handful) of unsalted mixed nuts and place them in a small bowl or plate.
Tip: Using unsalted nuts keeps the snack healthy by controlling sodium intake. -
Serve and enjoy.
Arrange the apple slices on a plate alongside the mixed nuts. Your snack is ready to eat!
Tip: Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Pro tips
- If you want to prevent apple slices from browning, you can lightly brush them with lemon juice.
- Choose a variety of nuts you enjoy, such as almonds, walnuts, cashews, or pecans, for a mix of flavors and textures.
