We love apples… especially when they’re in season! It’s hard to pass up those sweet, crunchy, mouth-watering autumn delights. We’re especially fond of the honey crisp and fugi varieties. Sweet and Tart mixed together makes for a really fabulous eating apple.

I also love nut butters- all kinds. My adoration began with peanut butter as a child but it’s now expanded to almond, sunflower, and of course how can I pass up all the chocolate varieties?!?! Take it to a whole new level though by smearing it on an apple… AHhhh mazing!

Apricot Almond Butter Apple Sliders are so simple to make- I use my Chicago Cutlery knives I found at Walmart to help me cut the apples crosswise, the serrated turquoise knife works like a charm! Then, just carefully remove the center of each slider with the point of the knife or a mellon baller works great too! I love my Chicago Cutlery knife set; they’re dishwasher safe, stay sharp, and come in with 4 different kinds of blades that you have all your small knife needs in one pack! They really make the perfect gift for the anyone on your holiday shopping list!
