Expert Tips & FAQs

This peanut butter dip is perfect for sliced apples, but it’s also good with pears and even strawberries. I’ve spread it onto graham crackers before, and even been known to dip in with a vanilla wafer cookie.
This sweet dip refrigerates well too. In fact, it’s consistency improves once it has had a chance to rest and the sugar granules have melted.
It transports well and is great for potlucks and backyard parties. Just store it in a plastic container with a lid and it will travel just fine.
To keep your apple slices from browning, sprinkle them with lemon juice and toss to coat.
