Ingredients
  

  • Apples: A mix of varieties for flavor and color (e.g., Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Gala, Pink Lady)
  • Fresh produce add-ons: Grapes, strawberries, or pear slices (optional but recommended)
  • Dips: Peanut butter or almond butter
  • Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • Honey or maple syrup
  • Cinnamon
  • Optional: caramel dip (store-bought or homemade for a treat)
  • Crunchy toppings: Granola, chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds), or toasted coconut
  • Fun add-ins: Dark chocolate chips or shaved chocolate
  • Savory balance: Cheese (sharp cheddar or gouda) and whole-grain crackers
  • Lemon juice: For tossing with apple slices to prevent browning
  • Seasonings: Sea salt and extra cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Wash and dry. Rinse the apples and any additional fruit. Dry well so slices don’t water down the dips.
  2. Slice the apples. Cut into thin wedges or sticks. Aim for bite-sized pieces that are easy to grab.
  3. Prevent browning. Toss the apple slices in a bowl with a splash of lemon juice and water (about 1 tablespoon lemon per 1 cup water). Drain and pat dry.
  4. Build your dips. Nut butter dip: Stir peanut or almond butter until smooth. If thick, loosen with a little warm water or a drizzle of maple syrup.
  5. Yogurt dip: Mix Greek yogurt with honey and a pinch of cinnamon. Taste and adjust sweetness.
  6. Optional caramel: Warm slightly if needed for drizzling.
  7. Arrange the board. Place small bowls of dips on the board first. Fan the apple slices around them. Fill gaps with grapes, strawberries, and cheese slices.
  8. Add crunch. Sprinkle granola, chopped nuts, and a few dark chocolate chips around the board. Keep toppings near dips for easy pairing.
  9. Season smart. Finish with a light dusting of cinnamon over the apples. Add a tiny pinch of sea salt to the nut butter for contrast.
  10. Serve right away. Put out small tongs or toothpicks if you like things tidy, and let everyone build their own bites.
