Crisp chilled apple slices paired with a creamy, cinnamon-honey peanut butter Greek yogurt dip; no cooking, ready in 10 minutes.
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or milk to the dip if you want it looser for dunking. For extra protein for the 10-year-old, serve with a handful of roasted almonds or a string cheese on the side.
Use lemon juice in the soaking water and toss slices with lemon juice before serving to keep them from browning. Mild sweetness from the honey and cinnamon balances the tang of Greek yogurt; adjust honey to taste.
