# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under ten minutes, which means you can actually make it on a Tuesday afternoon instead of just thinking about it.
  • The warm peanut butter melting slightly into the cool crisp apple slices hits that sweet-salty-crunchy balance that makes you reach for another piece immediately.
  • Kids treat it like a special occasion snack, but it's so easy you can make it without any drama or cleanup.
02 -
  • Slice your apples as close to serving time as possible, because they brown faster than you'd think, and once they start oxidizing the whole thing loses its visual appeal (and honestly, a little of its charm).
  • If you're prepping for a crowd, toss the apple slices in a tiny bit of lemon juice to slow the browning, but then drain them well before arranging or the whole thing gets soggy and sad.
03 -
  • A dull knife will bruise the apple flesh and make it brown faster; use your sharpest knife and let it do the work without pressure.
  • If you're making these for company, have all your components prepped and measured out beforehand so you can assemble them at the last possible second and keep the apple slices as crisp as possible.
