1. Wash your fruit. Rinse your apple thoroughly under cool running water and dry it off with a clean towel.
2. Slice the apple. Place the apple on the cutting board. Ask a grown-up to help you slice the apple into rings or wedges, removing the core and seeds.
3. Spread the butter. Lay your apple slices flat on your plate. Use your butter knife to spread a thin layer of nut butter onto each slice.
