# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in minutes, no cooking required, just assembly that actually feels fun.
  • Kids genuinely ask for this instead of candy, and you get to feel like you've won at parenting.
  • The textures are unreal—crispy apples, creamy peanut butter, crunchy nuts, and that honey drizzle creating pockets of sweetness.
02 -
  • Slice your apples as close to serving time as possible—they'll brown if left sitting, and nobody wants that oxidized taste.
  • If you're making this ahead, toss the apple slices with a tiny squeeze of lemon juice to keep them bright and fresh for hours.
03 -
  • Chill your apples before slicing—cold apples stay crisper longer and feel more refreshing against the richness of peanut butter.
  • Buy roasted, salted nuts rather than unsalted; the salt brings out the sweetness of the apples and honey in a way that feels sophisticated.
