Ingredients
  

  • Bread: 1–2 slices of whole grain, sourdough, or gluten-free bread
  • Almond butter: Smooth or crunchy, unsweetened preferred
  • Apple: 1 crisp apple (Honeycrisp, Fuji, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith)
  • Hemp seeds: Also called hemp hearts
  • Optional extras: Ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
  • A light drizzle of honey or maple syrup
  • A squeeze of lemon (to keep apple slices from browning)
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Chia seeds or toasted coconut for extra texture

Method
 

  1. Toast the bread. Choose a hearty slice that can hold toppings. Toast until golden and crisp on the edges. A sturdier toast makes each bite more satisfying.
  2. Prep the apple. Core the apple and slice it thin. If you like, toss slices with a tiny squeeze of lemon to keep them bright. Thin slices layer more evenly and are easier to bite.
  3. Spread the almond butter. While the toast is warm, spread a generous layer of almond butter from corner to corner. The warmth softens the almond butter and helps it cling to the toast.
  4. Add the apple slices. Shingle them in overlapping rows for even coverage. Aim for a single layer so the toast doesn’t get top-heavy.
  5. Sprinkle hemp seeds. Add 1–2 teaspoons over the top. They bring a delicate crunch and a nutty, almost sesame-like flavor.
  6. Finish with extras (optional). Dust with a pinch of cinnamon, add a few drops of honey or maple syrup, and a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt. The salt makes the flavors pop.
  7. Serve immediately. This is best eaten right away while the toast is crisp, the almond butter is slightly melty, and the apple is juicy.
