Xanthan Gum Free Apple Slices with Coconut Butter
Crisp, juicy apple slices paired with a warmly spiced coconut butter dip make for a snack that feels indulgent but comes together in minutes. The dip is a simple stir-together blend of coconut butter, honey, Ceylon cinnamon, ground ginger, and a bright squeeze of lemon juice — no cooking required, just a quick warm-water bath to soften the coconut butter if it's firm. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of thickeners and stabilizers, so there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden additives the way you often have to with store-bought dips and spreads. Ceylon cinnamon brings a gentler, more floral warmth than the standard variety, and it pairs beautifully with the tartness of a Honeycrisp or Fuji apple. This is the kind of recipe that works just as well as an afternoon snack as it does on a grazing board when you have company over. Simple, clean, and genuinely delicious.
