Ingredients
  

2 large Granny Smith apples (or your favorite variety), cored and sliced thinly

1 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter for a nut-free option)

½ cup granola (your choice of flavor)

½ cup mini chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chunks)

¼ cup sliced almonds or walnuts (optional for added crunch)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup (for drizzling)

½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for sprinkling)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Start by washing and coring the apples. Slice them thinly, ensuring that each slice is uniform for even distribution of toppings.

    Plate the Base: Arrange the apple slices on a large serving plate or individual snack plates, overlapping them slightly to create an attractive presentation.

      Add Peanut Butter: Use a spoon to drizzle or dollop creamy peanut butter over the apple slices. You can spread it or keep it in little pools on top, depending on your preference.

        Sprinkle Toppings: Evenly distribute the granola, mini chocolate chips, and sliced nuts over the peanut butter-coated apple slices. Here’s where you can get creative: feel free to scatter the toppings to your liking.

          Drizzle with Sweetness: Lightly drizzle honey or maple syrup over the entire plate for a touch of sweetness.

            Season: If desired, sprinkle a hint of cinnamon over the top. This adds an extra layer of flavor and warmth to the dish.

              Garnish: Finish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

                Serve: Enjoy immediately as a delightful snack or dessert, or set it out for gatherings and watch it disappear!
