Crispy baked apple slices topped with a warm peanut butter drizzle, chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, and flaky salt. A quick, healthy, and indulgent snack that comes together in about 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended)
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter (natural, no-stir variety)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice apples into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick, using a mandoline or sharp knife. Remove seeds and core pieces.
  3. Arrange apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
  4. Optional: Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over the apple slices.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden brown and slightly curled. Check after 8 minutes to prevent burning.
  6. While apples bake, combine peanut butter, coconut oil, and maple syrup in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and pourable (about 30-45 seconds total).
  7. Let baked apple slices cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes.
  8. Arrange apple chips on a serving plate, overlapping slightly in a single layer.
  9. Drizzle the peanut butter mixture over the apples.
  10. Sprinkle with chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, and flaky sea salt.
  11. Serve immediately.

Notes

Slice apples evenly for consistent baking. Watch the oven closely to avoid burning. Thin the peanut butter properly with coconut oil for a smooth drizzle. Serve immediately for best texture. Store leftover baked apple slices separately from toppings in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
