FESTIVE APPLE DIP
I came up with this layered peanut butter treat when my dad gave me a big bag of apples. The dip has been one of my favorites ever since. In addition to serving it with apples, try it with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, banana chunks or animal crackers. -Theresa Tometich, Coralville, Iowa

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that can hold up to the dipping process and won't get too soft. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Gala are all good choices.
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly: This will help the chocolate and peanut butter adhere to the apples better.
- Melt the chocolate and peanut butter in separate bowls: This will make it easier to dip the apples and get a smooth, even coating.
- Dip the apples in the melted chocolate first: This will help the peanut butter stick to the apples better.
- Sprinkle the chocolate-dipped apples with chopped peanuts: This will add a nice crunch and extra flavor.
- Chill the chocolate-dipped apples in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chocolate to set and firm up.
- Serve the chocolate-dipped apples immediately: They are best enjoyed fresh, while the chocolate is still melty and the apples are still crisp.
