Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 apples, sliced
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and peanut butter. Use a whisk or spatula to blend the ingredients until they are smooth and fully incorporated, ensuring no large lumps remain.
- Add the honey to the yogurt and peanut butter mixture. Stir thoroughly to create a sweet and creamy consistency.
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the mixture and gently fold it in, distributing the spice evenly throughout the dip.
- Wash the apples thoroughly under cool running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the apples into thin, even slices. For best presentation, remove the core and slice around it to create uniform wedges.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. If desired, garnish the top with a light dusting of additional cinnamon.
- Arrange the apple slices around the dip or serve them alongside for easy dipping.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, sweet, and slightly spiced dip with fresh apple slices.
Tips
- Choose the right yogurt: Greek yogurt works best due to its thick, creamy consistency and high protein content.
- Room temperature ingredients: Let your yogurt and peanut butter sit out for a few minutes before mixing to ensure smoother blending.
- Customize your sweetness: Adjust the honey to your taste preferences - add more for a sweeter dip or less for a more subtle flavor.
- Apple selection matters: Use crisp, fresh apples like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji for the best texture and flavor.
- Prevent apple browning: If preparing in advance, toss apple slices with a little lemon juice to keep them looking fresh.
- Make it fancy: Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a drizzle of extra honey for an elegant touch.
- Storage tip: Store the dip covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but it's best enjoyed fresh.
- Versatile serving: This dip isn't just for apples - try it with graham crackers, pretzels, or other fresh fruits!
