Assemble just before serving. Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature; refrigerate apple slices in an airtight container up to 2 days.
Slice the apples no more than 1–2 hours ahead and store in an airtight container in the fridge to prevent browning. Arrange the platter just before serving to keep everything fresh.
Yes. Red apples, Honeycrisps, or Fujis work well; choose varieties that are crisp and slightly sweet to balance protein bars.
Cookies and cream (as featured) is ideal. Vanilla, peanut butter, or chocolate flavors also complement fresh apple well.
Check protein bar labels for allergens and dietary certifications. Fresh apples are naturally vegan and gluten-free, but bar ingredients vary by brand.
Alternate protein bars and apple slices on a large platter or board for visual appeal and easy grabbing. Group by type or create a scattered, casual arrangement.
