How to Make Apple Spice Hummus

  1. Combine 1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed, 1 medium apple (about 1 cup) chopped, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon apple pie spice, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper in a food processor or high-powered blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, adding more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  3. Transfer the hummus to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. (Can be refrigerated for up to 3 days).
  4. Before serving, sprinkle with an additional pinch of cayenne pepper for a touch of heat.
  5. Serve immediately with apple slices, wheat crackers, and pita chips.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
