* % Daily Value shows how much one serving adds to a 2,000-calorie day. † Net carbs is not on US labels; it is total carbs minus fiber, allulose, erythritol and half of other sugar alcohols. "To taste" amounts are counted as written. Counted items (eggs, cloves, spoons) use the rounded amount shown in the ingredient list. Vitamins and minerals are from raw ingredients; cooking lowers some, especially vitamin C and folate. How this is calculated.
Steps
Stand the apple upright and cut it across into rounds about 1 cm (½ in) thick. Cut the core out of each round with a small knife.
Done looks like: Flat rings with a hole in the middle. Brush or rub both sides of each round with lemon juice.
Spread almond butter on one side of each round. Sprinkle with hemp hearts and cinnamon.
Done looks like: Thin even layer of almond butter, seeds stuck on top.
Equipment
Chef's knife, 20 cm (8 in) $15–50
What to look for
- Comfortable handle that does not slip when wet
- Blade you can sharpen, or a cheap one you replace every few years
Skip: Knife blocks with 12 knives. A chef's knife and a small paring knife cover almost everything.
Cutting board $10–30
What to look for
- At least 30 × 40 cm (12 × 16 in), so food stays on it
- Wood or plastic; plastic goes in the dishwasher
Skip: Glass or stone boards. They dull knives fast.
What goes wrong
| What | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Almond butter too stiff to spread | Straight from the fridge, or the oil has separated. | Stir the jar well and let it sit at room temperature 10 minutes, or warm the spoon under hot water. |
| Slices turn brown | Cut apple oxidizes in the air. | Don't skip the lemon juice, and eat within an hour. |
