Ingredients
Ingredients
6–8 crisp apples, washed and sliced
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup coconut oil (solid or melted)
½ tsp vanilla extract
4 Tbsp peanut butter
Optional toppings: chopped peanuts
(or mini chocolate chips, crushed pretzels)
Preparation
Preparation
Wash and slice apples. (Optional: to prevent browning, toss slices in cold water with a splash of lemon juice, then pat dry.)
In a microwave-safe bowl, add ½ cup maple syrup and ½ cup coconut oil.
Microwave 1 minute on high. (If your microwave runs hot, start with 45 seconds.)
Whisk until the coconut oil is fully melted and the mixture looks glossy.
Stir in ½ tsp vanilla extract.
Add 4 Tbsp peanut butter and whisk until completely blended and silky.
Pour into a serving bowl. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top if using. Serve warm with apple slices.
The dip thickens as it cools. If it gets too firm, microwave 10–15 seconds and stir.
Tips
Tips
Allergy swap: Use almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for peanut-free.
Make-ahead: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5–7 days. Warm briefly before serving.
