Apple Slices with Cinnamon Almond Butter

This is not a recipe. This is an assembly job. But it's the snack I reach for most often when I want something that feels like a treat but is basically just fruit and nut butter. The cinnamon makes it feel intentional.

Why it's gut-friendly: Apples are rich in pectin, a prebiotic fibre that feeds good gut bacteria. Almond butter provides healthy fats and protein. Cinnamon helps stabilise blood sugar.

Ingredients (Serves 1):

• 1 crisp apple (Pink Lady or Braeburn work well)
• 1-2 tbsp almond butter
• Sprinkle of cinnamon

Method:

1. Slice the apple into wedges.
2. Spread each wedge with a little almond butter.
3. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
4. Eat immediately.
