Chef's Note

For the best texture contrast, serve this snack with both baked and fresh apple slices. The baking process caramelizes the natural sugars in the Granny Smith apples, bringing out their sweetness while maintaining their tartness. The protein-rich almond butter dip can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium Granny Smith apples

  • 2 medium Fuji or Honeycrisp apples

  • 1 cup natural almond butter

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds

  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • 2

    Wash and dry all apples thoroughly. Core and slice 4 Granny Smith apples into 8 wedges each.

  • 3

    Toss the apple slices with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in a large bowl to prevent browning.

  • 4

    Arrange half of the apple slices on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

  • 5

    Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the slices and bake for another 15 minutes until slightly softened but still firm. Allow to cool completely.

  • 6

    While the first batch is baking, core and slice the remaining 2 Fuji or Honeycrisp apples into 8 wedges each and set aside (these will be served fresh).

  • 7

    In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of almond butter, 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

  • 8

    Toast 1/4 cup of sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until golden and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.

  • 9

    To serve, arrange both the baked and fresh apple slices on a serving platter or individual plates.

  • 10

    Divide the almond butter mixture into 4 small serving bowls (about 1/2 cup each).

  • 11

    Sprinkle each portion of the almond butter dip with toasted almonds, 1/2 tablespoon of hemp seeds, and a pinch of chia seeds.

  • 12

    Serve immediately, with each person receiving a mix of warm baked and fresh apple slices with their individual portion of almond butter dip.
