Notes
- If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can blend the peanut butter in a food processor or mix it with a little bit of water to make it more spreadable.
- You can use any type of apple for this recipe, but we recommend using a sweet variety like Gala or Honeycrisp.
- Make sure to use 100% peanut butter without any added sugars or oils to keep this recipe healthy and low in calories.
- Be careful when removing the apple from the microwave, as it may be really hot.
- We also like to add some raw celery with some peanut butter. Pablo loves it!
