Notes

For best results, use fresh, crisp apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, which provide a nice balance of sweetness and tartness. Adjust the amount of honey based on the sweetness of the apples you choose. Additionally, ensure that the peanut butter is well-mixed and creamy to avoid clumps in your batter.
