You can use any variety of apples that you have on hand. Sweet and crisp apples like Fuji, Gala and Honeycrisp would work well here, but you can also use Granny Smith for its sharp, tart flavor.

There's no need to peel the apple for this recipe—simply remove the core and seeds. The whole fruit, peel and all, is nutritious and includes fiber that will help keep you satisfied.

Confirm that the ingredients are just nuts and salt (or no salt).
