10 min · 13 g protein · 241 cals / serving
Crisp, juicy apple slices fanned out like chips and drizzled the way you would load nachos: ribbons of salty peanut butter sauce, a cinnamon-vanilla yogurt drizzle, chopped roasted peanuts and a little dark chocolate. Sweet, salty and crunchy in every bite.
Ingredients
- 2 medium granny smith apples, cored and thinly sliced; one red and one green looks best
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Peanut butter drizzle
- 2 tbsp powdered peanut butter
- 1/2 tbsp peanut butter
- about 2 tbsp water
Yogurt drizzle
- 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- a pinch stevia, or 1 tsp maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp roasted salted peanuts, chopped
- 1 small square dark chocolate 70-85%, finely chopped
Steps
- Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice so they stay white, then fan them out over a large plate, overlapping like a pile of chips.
- Stir the powdered peanut butter, peanut butter and water into a smooth sauce, adding water a teaspoon at a time until it falls from the spoon in a ribbon.
- Stir the yogurt, vanilla and sweetener together, loosening with a teaspoon of water so it drizzles.
- Drizzle the peanut sauce and the yogurt over the apples in zigzags, then scatter the cinnamon, chopped peanuts and chocolate on top. Eat straight away with your fingers.
Good to know
Which apples?
Crisp, tart ones: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Pink Lady. A mix of red and green looks great. Slice them about 5 mm thick so they hold the toppings without bending.
Making it for kids?
Set out the sliced apples and the toppings in little bowls and let everyone load their own plate. Mini chocolate chips and a pinch of unsweetened coconut are popular extras.

As written, 482 kcal goes into the pot and 532 g of ingredients comes out as about 530 g of food: 91 kcal per 100 g. Cooking moves water and energy density is the score's biggest lever, so the dish is scored as cooked, not as an average of its parts.
