School has started around here. I went to the grocery store yesterday and it was a madhouse. I was walking down the aisles and it was full of families picking up supplies for school lunches. Every few minutes a family would see someone they knew and ask, “Are you ready for tomorrow?” I was ready for them to get out of my grocery store because they were moving way too slow for me. I am an in and out kinda girl. I have my list, I get my stuff, and I get out of there. Not yesterday though. It was a zoo.
I saw this recipe a few weeks ago and I thought it would make a great snack. For those times when you are hungry but not hungry enough to eat a whole meal. I am a huge fan of apples and peanut butter and this takes the concept 3 steps further by adding granola, cinnamon, and chocolate. This is a fantastic snack for after school or work or breakfast or before bed. Really, any time will do. Plus these are all pantry staples. I used granny smith apples but you could use whatever kind you have on hand. I always have apples, peanut butter, granola and chocolate chips on hand. To make this a little healthier you could absolutely use natural peanut butter.
Here is what you’ll need
Combine the granola, cinnamon, and chocolate chips
Slice the apples and coat with peanut butter
Roll in the granola mixture
Great snack for just about anytime!
- 1 large granny smith apple
- 1/4 cup peanut butter

- Remove the core and slice the apple into 8 wedges.
