Chef's Note

For the best texture and flavor balance, choose apples that are crisp and slightly tart to complement the rich almond butter. You can prepare the almond butter mixture and seed topping up to 3 days in advance and store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for quick assembly. This elevated snack provides sustained energy with its balance of protein, healthy fats, and fiber.

Ingredients

  • 4 whole large apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Gala)

  • 1 cup natural almond butter

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 cup flaxseeds, ground

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao)

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1/4 cup coconut flakes, unsweetened

  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
  • 1

    Prepare a bowl with 2 cups of cold water and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to prevent apple browning.

  • 2

    Wash and core the 4 apples, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick wedges (about 8-10 slices per apple).

  • 3

    Place the apple slices in the lemon water for 2 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.

  • 4

    In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of almond butter, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

  • 5

    In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of Greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until well combined.

  • 6

    Toast 1/4 cup of coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.

  • 7

    Toast 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts in the same skillet for 4-5 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently. Set aside to cool.

  • 8

    In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of ground flaxseeds, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, the toasted coconut flakes, and 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips.

  • 9

    To assemble, arrange the apple slices on a serving platter or individual plates.

  • 10

    Spread or dollop approximately 1/4 cup of the almond butter mixture onto each serving of apple slices.

  • 11

    Top each serving with 1/4 cup of the Greek yogurt mixture.

  • 12

    Sprinkle each serving with the seed, nut, and chocolate chip mixture.

  • 13

    For presentation, dust with a light sprinkle of additional cinnamon if desired.

  • 14

    Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to slightly soften before serving.
