Ingredients
  

For the Apple Chips:

2 large apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Fuji for sweetness and crunch)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for added sweetness)

A pinch of salt

1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent browning)

For the Peanut Butter Dip:

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (to add creaminess and a tangy flavor)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (to achieve a sweet balance)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

--

Instructions
 

Prep the Apples:

    - Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).

      - Rinse and dry the apples thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the apples thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).

        - To prevent the apple slices from browning, soak them briefly in a bowl of water mixed with lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon).

          Season the Chips:

            - Lay the apple slices out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

              - In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the apple slices to coat them lightly.

                Bake the Chips:

                  - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 1.5 to 2 hours. The goal is for the apple slices to become dry and crisp.

                    - Halfway through baking, flip the apple slices to ensure even crispiness. Keep a close watch in the later stages of cooking to avoid burning, as ovens can vary.

                      Make the Peanut Butter Dip:

                        - In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

                          - Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed, adding more honey or syrup based on your preference.

                            Serve:

                              - Once the apple chips are baked and allowed to cool, present them alongside the creamy peanut butter dip in a vibrant serving bowl. This combination makes for a delightful and healthy snack!
