Chef's Note
For an elevated version of this simple snack, I've added toasted almonds for crunch and dried cranberries for a tart contrast. The touch of cinnamon and honey in the almond butter creates a more complex flavor profile. To keep your apple slices fresh longer, especially for packed lunches, soak them in a mixture of 1 cup water and 1 tablespoon lemon juice for 5 minutes before patting dry.
