Apple Slices with Almond Butter
Apple slices paired with almond butter are a perfect Halloween snack that’s both sweet and satisfying. Add a spooky touch by arranging the slices to resemble a jack-o’-lantern face. Apples provide fiber and vitamin C, while almond butter adds a boost of healthy fats and protein.
