Ingredients
  

Apple Bites
  • 2 apples crisp red or green varieties
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granola
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • a few mint leaves optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 knife
  • 1 small microwave-safe bowl for melting chocolate
  • 1 spoon for spreading and drizzling

Method
 

  1. Wash and dry the apples well. Slice each apple into wedges, then trim away the core and seeds.
  2. Brush or toss the apple slices lightly with lemon juice to help slow browning.
  3. Arrange the apple wedges on a plate, tray, or serving board.
  4. Spread a small spoonful of peanut butter onto the cut side of each apple slice.
  5. Sprinkle granola over the peanut butter so it sticks evenly.
  6. Place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring between each one, until smooth and melted. Alternatively, melt gently over a double boiler.
  7. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the apple bites.
  8. Serve immediately, or chill for 5 to 10 minutes to let the chocolate set slightly before serving.

Notes

Use crisp apples for the best texture. For a peanut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter if appropriate. These are best assembled just before serving for maximum crunch.
