Tips from the chef
Use a sharp knife or mandoline slicer for even apple slices.
Choose sweet apple varieties like Fuji or Gala for best flavor.
Toast nuts and oats just before serving to maintain maximum crunch.
Add a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side for extra protein.
For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup.
Chop nuts finely if serving to children to avoid choking hazard.
