Ingredients

Dip

  • 3/4 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup natural creamy peanut butter (no sugar added)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Apples

  • 2 medium crisp apples, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice mixed with 1 cup water, for soaking

Directions

  1. Let the Greek yogurt sit out 10 minutes. Cold yogurt makes the dip stiff and lumpy.
  2. In a small bowl, stir the yogurt, peanut butter, powdered monk fruit, cinnamon and vanilla until completely smooth.
  3. Core the apples and cut each into 12 wedges, for 24 slices total.
  4. Soak the slices in the lemon water 2 minutes to keep them from browning, then drain and pat dry.
  5. Serve 3 slices per person with 2 tablespoons of dip. The dip keeps covered in the fridge up to 5 days.
Tip: Pairing fruit with protein and fat, like the peanut butter and yogurt here, helps slow how fast the apple's natural sugar hits your bloodstream.
Dad jokeAn apple a day keeps the doctor away. Add peanut butter dip and you might keep the whole family away from your plate.

Know your label

Which does CDC suggest for people with diabetes: whole fruit or fruit juice?
CDC says to eat whole fruits instead of drinking juice, because juice delivers a lot of sugar at once and leaves the fiber behind.
The numbers on a Nutrition Facts label are usually based on what amount?
FDA says label nutrition information is usually based on one serving, so check the serving size before reading the carb grams.
