Ingredients
- 3 large apples
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (preferably organic and unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup mini dark or semisweet chocolate chips (divided. Look for vegan chips to make this a vegan recipe)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Cut apples into thin slices, about 16 per apple. Place on a large plate. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Microwave the peanut butter in a small bowl on high until it becomes melted enough to drizzle, 15 seconds at a time. You may be able to skip this step if using a fresh jar of natural peanut butter because it will already be somewhat thin. Drizzle over the apples. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Microwave 2-3 tablespoons of the chocolate chips in a small bowl on high for about 30 seconds. Stir, then continue heating 15 seconds at a time until completely melted when stirred. Drizzle over the apples. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Garnish with the remaining chocolate chips and serve immediately. The apples will start to brown, so don't wait to long to serve. | |
