-
In a small bowl, stir together the cranberries, almonds, and sunflower seeds. -
Layer half the apples on a large plate or platter. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the apples to keep them from browning. -
In a small microwaveable bowl, microwave the water on 100% power (high) for 2 minutes, or until boiling (or boil on the stovetop and pour into a small bowl). Add the peanut butter and honey, stirring until the mixture is smooth. -
Using a spoon, drizzle half the peanut butter mixture over the apple wedges. Sprinkle with half the cranberry mixture. Layer the remaining apples over the cranberry mixture. Drizzle the remaining peanut butter mixture over all. Sprinkle the remaining cranberry mixture over all.
Cooking Tip: If you don't have an apple corer, halve the fruit and use either a melon baller or a sturdy, rounded metal 1/2-teaspoon measuring spoon to scoop out the core and seeds.
Keep it Healthy: Always opt for dried unsweetened fruit. The sweetened varieties contain unnecessary added sugar.
Tip: For variety, try other toppings for the apple nachos, such as any type of dried unsweetened fruit, unsalted chopped nuts, unsalted pumpkin seeds, low-fat granola, or unsweetened shredded coconut.
