Healthy, delicious, and crunchy, these faux-nuts will satisfy your sweet cravings while also giving your body the fuel that it needs. Find ingredient inspiration after the jump.

To get started, all you need is your favorite type of apple (or two), your favorite type of nut butter, and your favorite kinds of toppings—just about anything can work on these versatile snacks.

Mix and Match Ingredients to Get You Started:

Apples:
Fuji apples
Granny Smith apples
Opal apples

+

Toppings:
Granola
Coconut chips
Crushed cereal
Chopped nuts
Raisins or other dried fruit

What to Do:

Slice your apple into rings and use a small cookie cutter or knife to remove the core from each slice. Pat the apples dry with a paper towel—this will help the nut butters stick to the apples much better.

Pour your mix-and-match toppings onto separate plates. Press your apple ring, nut-butter-side down, into your favorite topping.
