Ingredients
  

2 large apples (any variety you prefer, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup granola (your favorite blend)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Sliced almonds or walnuts for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Begin by washing and drying the apples. Slice them into thin wedges or rounds, removing the core and seeds. Arrange them on a large plate or platter to create a 'nacho' base.

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup). Heat in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds to soften, then stir until smooth and drizzly.

      Drizzle the warmed peanut butter mixture evenly over the apple slices.

        Sprinkle the granola generously over the peanut butter-covered apples.

          Add a scattering of mini chocolate chips and shredded coconut on top of the apples for extra sweetness and texture.

            If using, sprinkle sliced almonds or walnuts over everything for a delightful crunch.

              For an extra touch, lightly dust with cinnamon before serving to enhance the flavors.
