Brazil Nut Free Whole30 Apple Slices with Sunflower Butter
Crisp, juicy apple wedges paired with a creamy, savory-sweet sunflower butter dip make for a snack that feels indulgent but couldn't be more wholesome. Sunflower seed butter is the real star here — it delivers that rich, nutty depth you'd want from a classic nut butter without any tree nuts in sight, making it a genuinely safe and satisfying swap. A pinch of sea salt and a dusting of cinnamon take the dip from simple to seriously craveable, rounding out the natural sweetness of the apples beautifully. If you're prepping ahead, a quick toss of the slices in fresh lemon juice keeps everything looking fresh and bright on the plate. The whole thing comes together in minutes with zero cooking required, which makes it perfect for an afternoon snack, a lunchbox addition, or even a light appetizer spread. Honeycrisp or Fuji apples are ideal choices here — their firm texture and balanced sweetness hold up perfectly against the thick, creamy dip.
