Ingredients

Scale

2–3 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, or Granny Smith)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1–2 teaspoons milk or non-dairy milk (optional, for thinning dip)
Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, raisins

Instructions

Wash and dry the apples thoroughly.
Slice apples into thin wedges (about 1/2-inch thick), removing cores. Use an apple corer if desired.
Place apple slices in a bowl and toss gently with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together peanut butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy. If dip is too thick, add milk or non-dairy milk to reach desired consistency.
Arrange apple slices on a serving platter and place the dip in a small bowl in the center.
Sprinkle optional toppings over the dip or apple slices as desired.
Serve immediately for best crunch and freshness. If making ahead, cover apples tightly with plastic wrap.

Notes

For nut-free or vegan options, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt. Add toppings just before serving to keep them fresh. If prepping ahead, store apples and dip separately and assemble before eating. Use crisp apples for best texture.
