Description
A quick and easy 5-ingredient snack featuring sliced apples drizzled with cinnamon butter, honey, and optional nuts. Perfect for after school or anytime you need a fresh, kid-friendly treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium apples (about 1 lb), sliced thin
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts), optional
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples. Slice into thin, even rounds or wedges about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
- Arrange apple slices in a single layer on a serving platter, overlapping like nachos.
- In a small bowl, melt the butter (microwave for 30 seconds or melt on stovetop). Stir in ground cinnamon until combined.
- Drizzle the cinnamon butter evenly over the apple slices.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts on top if using.
- Drizzle honey over the entire platter.
- Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to let flavors meld.
Notes
Use fresh, crisp apples for best texture. Toast nuts in a dry skillet for 3-4 minutes for extra flavor. Butter helps cinnamon stick and adds shine; can substitute coconut oil for dairy-free option. Serve immediately or chilled. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 24 hours; squeeze lemon juice on apples to prevent browning.
