Ingredients
- 3 medium crisp apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp), thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter, slightly warmed
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Wash, dry, and thinly slice the apples, then arrange them in a single layer on a serving plate.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, maple syrup, and sugar. Stir until the mixture gently bubbles.
- Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. Let cool slightly.
- Drizzle the warmed nut butter over the apple slices.
- Drizzle the homemade toffee sauce evenly over the apples.
- Sprinkle with chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and shredded coconut.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Toss apple slices with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
- Add granola for extra crunch.
- Swap chocolate chips with dried fruit for a different flavor.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, though best enjoyed fresh.
- Store extra toffee sauce separately and reheat gently before use.
