Recipe FAQs
- → What type of apples work best for this snack?
Firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp are ideal as they hold their shape well and provide a refreshing crunch.
- → Can I make the dip nut-free?
Yes, sunflower seed butter or almond butter can be used instead of peanut butter for a nut-free or varied flavor option.
- → How can I prevent the apple slices from browning?
Brushing or tossing the apple slices lightly with lemon juice helps slow down oxidation and keeps them looking fresh longer.
- → Is it necessary to add Greek yogurt to the dip?
Greek yogurt adds creaminess and a slight tang, but you can omit it for a simpler peanut butter dip if preferred.
- → Are there optional spices to enhance the dip?
A pinch of ground cinnamon can be added to the dip to introduce warmth and complement the natural sweetness of the apples.

A sharp knife, cutting board, mixing bowl, and spoon are sufficient for slicing apples and preparing the dip.
