Common Recipe Questions

How can I keep apple slices from browning?

Brushing the slices with a little lemon juice slows oxidation, helping maintain their fresh appearance longer.

What alternatives exist for peanut butter?

Sunflower seed butter or almond butter can be used to replace peanut butter, catering to nut allergies or flavor preferences.

Can I make the dip less sweet?

Omitting honey or reducing its amount will tone down the sweetness while keeping the creamy texture intact.

Is Greek yogurt necessary for the dip?

Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, but you can substitute with dairy-free yogurt for a different texture.

How should I serve this snack for best flavor?

Arrange the apple slices on a plate alongside the dip to allow easy dipping and maintain crisp textures.
