Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by washing the apple thoroughly under running water.
- Using a sharp knife, core the apple and cut it into round slices approximately 1/4 inch thick. Aim for about 6-8 slices depending on the size of the apple.
- Pat the apple slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This will help the toppings adhere better.
- Take each apple slice and spread a generous layer of peanut butter on one side. You can use a small butter knife or a spoon to do this.
- Sprinkle granola on top of the peanut butter. Press gently with your fingers so the granola sticks to the peanut butter.
- Evenly sprinkle flaxseed over the granola-covered apple slices. This will add a nice crunch as well as extra nutrients.
- Lay the finished apple granola "cookies" on a serving plate and they are ready to enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose a crisp apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture.
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or hydrogenated oils for a healthier option.
- Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
- Make sure to slice the apple evenly to ensure uniform 'cookies'.
- You can swap flaxseed with chia seeds or hemp seeds if desired.
