Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Gala, Fuji, or your favorite)
  • 1 lemon or lime (for juice)
  • 1 cup water (for the citrus soak)
  • 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew) or seed butter (sunflower or tahini)
  • 1/3 cup crunchy add-ins (granola, chopped nuts, or seeds)
  • Optional dips: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or caramel-style date spread
  • Optional extras: cinnamon, mini dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or raisins
  • Pinch of salt (to boost flavor if using nut butter)
  • Small containers or zip-top bags for packing

Method
 

  1. Wash and slice the apples: Core and slice into thin wedges. Keep the skin on for extra fiber and crunch.
  2. Mix a quick anti-browning rinse: Stir the juice of 1 lemon or lime into 1 cup of cold water. Soak slices for 1–2 minutes.
  3. Drain and dry: Lift the slices out, pat dry with a clean towel or paper towels. Dry apples hold up better and don’t water down dips.
  4. Portion the fruit: Divide apple slices among 4 small containers or bags.
  5. Add a protein dip: Spoon 2 tablespoons of nut or seed butter into a mini cup. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a dash of cinnamon if you like.
  6. Layer in crunch: Add 1–2 tablespoons of granola, chopped nuts, or seeds to each pack. Keep them separate if you want them extra crunchy.
  7. Customize: Add a few dark chocolate chips, raisins, or coconut for a little sweetness. For a lighter option, portion 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or cottage cheese in a separate cup.
  8. Seal and store: Close containers tightly. Keep dips in separate cups to avoid soggy apples.
  9. Grab and go: Pair one apple pack with one dip cup for a balanced snack on busy days.
