It's such a treat and one that I crave in autumn when the apples are crisp and pink inside. I cut an apple in half and then in half again. I core and peel each quarter and then slice the quarter into an eighth.
The slice is covered with peanut butter and eaten right then. The juicy apple contrasts with the peanut protein to bring a taste that is tangy and nutty at the same time.
The peanut butter of choice comes from Bay City's St. Laurent's Bros., Inc. shop on Water Street. This fall we bought a 48 ounce bucket and decanted the peanut butter into three pint jars so there will be and extra jar of peanut butter to take home for our kids. St. Laurent peanut butter is just peanuts and salt; no added sweetener or preservative.
Four ways to enjoy peanut butter: 1) on a spoon from the jar; 2) with apple slices; 3) in cookies; 4) mixed one to one with yogurt and served as a dip for apples.
