Ingredients
  

4 plain rice cakes

1 medium apple, sliced thinly (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tbsp peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, to your preference)

1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds, optional for crunch)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a small bowl, toss the thin apple slices with ground cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt. If you like a touch of sweetness, drizzle honey or maple syrup on the apples and mix well.

    Toast the Rice Cakes: Lightly toast the rice cakes in a toaster or on a non-stick skillet over low heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are crisp and warm. This step is optional, but toasting will enhance the texture and flavor.

      Make the Peanut Butter Spread: In a bowl, combine the peanut butter with vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. If you want a thinner consistency, you can add a splash of water or more honey/maple syrup.

        Assemble: Spread a generous layer of the peanut butter mixture over each rice cake.

          Layer with Apples: Neatly arrange the cinnamon-coated apple slices on top of the peanut butter on each rice cake. Feel free to overlap the slices for a beautiful presentation.

            Top Off: Sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the apple layer if desired for an added crunch.

              Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Cinnamon Apple Rice Cakes as a quick breakfast, snack, or dessert!
