# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It takes less time to make than it does to find a clean spoon in the dishwasher.
  • You can customize it with whatever you have in the pantry, so it never gets old.
  • It satisfies both sweet and salty cravings in one plate.
  • Kids think theyre getting away with something, and adults know theyre eating fruit.
02 -
  • If you slice the apples too thick, they become hard to bite through and the toppings slide off.
  • Dont skip warming the peanut butter or youll end up with clumps instead of a drizzle.
  • Serve this right away because apples start to brown and lose their snap after sitting too long.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the apples quickly and evenly if youre making this for a crowd.
  • Toast the coconut in a dry skillet for 2 minutes before sprinkling it on top for a deeper, nuttier flavor.
  • If youre feeling fancy, add a pinch of flaky sea salt over the peanut butter for a sweet and salty contrast that will blow your mind.
