2 large large apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) Choose crisp varieties for the best texture.
1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter Can be substituted with yogurt or cottage cheese for a different flavor.
to taste toppings of your choice (granola, raisins, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, yogurt) Feel free to mix and match toppings according to your preferences.
to taste honey or maple syrup Optional, for drizzling.

Begin by washing the apples thoroughly to remove any pesticides or wax.
Slice each apple in half vertically.
Use a paring knife or melon baller to remove the core from each half, creating a shallow bowl.

Spread a generous layer of peanut butter or almond butter inside each apple half.
Sprinkle your favorite toppings into the apple boats, mixing and matching for different flavors.
Drizzle honey or maple syrup on top for added sweetness if desired.
Cut the apple boats into easy-to-eat wedges or enjoy them whole.

To keep apples fresh and prevent browning, brush with lemon juice if prepared in advance. Get creative with flavor combinations to suit your taste.
