The best part about this snack is that you can truly substitute in whatever you have on hand! At a minimum the apples are needed. The dark chocolate and the nut or seed butter help “hold” all the toppings, so those are also essential. After that you could substitute in whatever you have or what the kids want!

  • Dark Chocolate
  • Nut butter or Seed butter
  • Coconut Flakes
  • Nuts or Seeds
  • Raisins

How to Prevent the Apples from Browning

This is a great snack to send to school to celebrate a birthday or to serve at a playdate. If you aren’t serving it immediately you’ll need to “treat” the apples with lemon juice to prevent browning. It’s simple: after you cut the apples squeeze a little bit of lemon juice on them and toss to coat. This will help the apples last longer without browning.
