Happy weekend, friends! We’re continuing with the fun of Apple Week today and I’m super-pumped to introduce you to one of my good blogging friends, and fellow health-food lover Kelly from The Pretty Bee!
Thanks so much for guest-posting for me today, Kelly!
Hello, Whole and Heavenly Oven Readers! I’m Kelly from The Pretty Bee, and I’m so thrilled that Sarah invited me to share a recipe with you during her Apple Week! Sarah always has the most delicious looking desserts and her photography is so lovely. I just love to pop in and see what she’s cooked up each week!
Fall is my favorite season, what with all the apples, apple cider, apple pie, and apple everything! Fortunately, here in the Midwest we have lots of cider mills and apple orchards to choose from, so it’s easy for me to get my apple fix.
For my contribution to Apple Week, I thought I’d share a very simple little apple snack. I love apples and peanut butter, and this dip is like a fancier version of that classic combo. I used almond butter, and with some confectioner’s sugar, almond milk, and cinnamon, this dip reminds me of those sweet roasted almonds that you can get at the fair in a paper cone. But in dippable form, so even more delicious! I paired this dip with Granny Smith Apples, but any variety of apple would do.
You can serve this as an afterschool snack, or double or triple the recipe and serve it at an autumn party. And if you don’t like almond butter, peanut butter would be a very tasty substitute.

What a fun and tasty dip! I love the sound of this cinnamon spiced almond butter – it looks so creamy and good and sounds perfect with sliced apples 🙂 Love it!
Baby June says
Mmm that dip looks amazing! So rich and creamy. Bet it would go with a lot of different fruits…or on a spoon. eh? 🙂
Sarah says
I gotta say I’m loving the spoon idea. 😀
Ashley says
An apple with peanut butter is definitely one of my favorite snacks – love this spin on it in dip form! So fun!
Isadora says
I loved those spiced almonds that you can get at the fair! Peanut butter and apples have always been one of my favorite snacks, and I’m guessing I would love almond butter and apples even more 🙂
Kathryn says
This looks so yummy! I’m feeling badly that I can’t have the cider and donuts this year, so this treat would cheer me up. I just have to ask the Wheat Belly peeps if there is a powdered sugar substitute I can have. The one they approved is more granulated, and I’m not sure that would work?? I’ll let you know if I’m able to try it.
Kathryn says
Oops! Meant to post this on Kelly’s blog! Sorry!
