# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than you can pour a glass of milk, with zero cooking required.
  • The contrast between crispy apples and creamy peanut butter is exactly what your taste buds didn't know they were missing.
  • It's naturally vegetarian and gluten-free without any fussy substitutions or explanations needed.
02 -
  • The moment your apples hit the air, they start to brown—if you're making this ahead for any reason, toss them in a tiny bit of lemon juice and they'll stay bright and beautiful.
  • Those chocolate chips will soften if they sit on warm peanut butter, so add them last and serve immediately if you want them to stay snappy.
03 -
  • If your peanut butter is separated with oil on top, stir it together before warming—it distributes way more evenly that way and tastes richer.
  • Slice your apples right before assembling and you'll avoid that subtle browning that happens when they sit exposed to air, keeping them fresh and bright on the plate.
