🧾 Ingredients
- Granny Smith apples: I like Granny Smith apples for their tart flavor. You could use whatever your favorite kind of apple is. Another great way to use apples is my Vegan Chicken Salad Sandwich recipe.
- Peanut butter: For a nutty flavor and creamy texture.
- Coconut oil: Thins out the peanut butter and chocolate.
- Chocolate chips: For a sweet chocolaty flavor.
- Shredded coconut: Adds crunch and coconut flavor.
- Walnuts: Adds crunch and nutty flavor. You could also use pecans or another nut.
- Lemon juice: Helps to keep the apples from browning. Also adds a bright tart flavor. You don't need lemon juice if you're planning on eating them right away.
