Important Recipe Notes
- Choose firm apples such as Honeycrisp, Gala, Fuji, or Pink Lady for the best texture and crunch.
- Soaking the apple slices in lime juice helps prevent browning and keeps them looking fresh longer.
- Be sure to pat the apple slices completely dry before adding the peanut butter so it spreads easily and stays in place.
- Spread the peanut butter in a thin, even layer to prevent toppings from falling off.
- You can customize the toppings based on your family’s preferences. Mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, coconut flakes, raisins, and granola all work well.
- If serving at a party, assemble the apple slice cookies shortly before serving for the freshest appearance.
- For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter or another allergy-friendly spread.
- Store any leftover apple slices separately from the toppings when possible to help maintain their crisp texture.
