Note

If you have leftover apple slices with peanut butter, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The apple slices may brown slightly, but they will still be safe to eat. To prevent browning, you can squeeze a little lemon juice on the apple slices before adding the peanut butter. Enjoy the snack cold or at room temperature.
