I first learned about the combination of apples and almond butter from Travis Barker. He’s not only on the list of greatest drummer’s but is also a vegan, so you know he’s someone special. This has become one of my boyfriend’s favourite snacks and it’s super easy to make so I wanted to dress it up a bit in case you are in the mood for an indulgent snack. This is really an anything goes recipe (which I love and hope you do too) so feel free to decorate your apple as you see fit. I used Honeycrisp here but use whatever kind you like.
serves 1-2 Ingredients
1 apple (the choice is yours)
2 tbsp natural almond butter
4 tbsp vegan chocolate chips (optional)
2 tsp non-dairy milk (optional)
1-2 tsp coconut sugar (optional)
any optional toppings you might want to add like cacao nibs, vegan marshmallows, whatever you can think of
Instructions
Cut your apple into whatever shape you desire.
Scoop out the amount of almond butter you need onto a plate, or just take it from the jar as you go. Spread a little bit onto each piece, coating it as thick as you would like.
Next, if you’re using the chocolate, measure it out and put it in a microwave safe bowl and heat it for about 30 seconds. Add in your non-dairy milk and stir then microwave it for about 20 more seconds. Stir it again and if you need to, microwave it for 10-15 seconds more.
You can dip your apples in the chocolate or drizzle it on top. Next add the coconut sugar by sprinkling it on top. Add in whatever other toppings you would like and serve!
