Method

Fruit & Produce

  1. 1

    Prepare apples

    Wash the 6 organic Gala apples under cool running water, rub gently to remove any residue. Pat dry with a clean towel.

  2. 2

    Core and slice

    Using an apple corer or a paring knife, remove the cores. Slice each apple into 8 equal wedges (about 1/4-inch thick). Place slices into a large mixing bowl as you work.

  3. 3

    Prevent browning

    In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice with 2 tablespoons water. Pour the lemon-water over the apple slices and toss gently so all pieces are lightly coated; this prevents browning and brightens flavor.

Optional Serving & Flavor Enhancers

  1. 4

    Add warming spice

    If using, sprinkle 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon over the lemon-coated apple slices and toss gently to distribute evenly.

  2. 5

    Sweeten (optional)

    If you prefer sweeter apple slices, drizzle 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup over the apples and toss until evenly coated. Adjust amount to taste.

  3. 6

    Add crunch and serve

    To serve, portion apple slices into bowls or a communal platter. Sprinkle 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans over the top for crunch, or serve on the side. Offer 2 cups of plain or vanilla Greek yogurt alongside for dipping, or spoon a dollop over each serving.

  4. 7

    Storage

    Store leftover prepared apple slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Keep any extra yogurt refrigerated separately and add nuts just before serving to preserve crunch.
