Ingredients
  

  • 3 large ripe avocados
  • ½ cup (75 g / 2.65 oz) finely chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4.1 fl oz) loosely packed, snipped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, juiced, about 2 tbsp / 30 ml
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
  • Tabasco sauce, to taste
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • For serving: tortilla chips, apple chips, or baked fruit crisps
  • Pro-Tips for Perfect Apple Guac
  • To prevent browning, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before refrigerating. The lime juice also helps keep its vibrant green color.
  • The key to great guacamole is a perfectly ripe avocado. It should yield to firm, gentle pressure but not feel mushy. The stem should also pop off easily.

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, scoop the flesh from the avocados.
  2. Add the finely chopped onion, snipped cilantro, and fresh lime juice.
  3. Add a few dashes of Tabasco sauce to your liking.
  4. Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the together until you reach your desired consistency—I personally love leaving it a little chunky!
  5. Gently fold in the finely chopped Granny Smith apple. This is the star of the show, so be careful not to crush it.
  6. Season generously with kosher salt, tasting as you go.
  7. Adjust any seasonings if needed.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers and enjoy the crunch!
  9. Dice the apple very finely (about ¼-inch or 6mm pieces) so you get a little bit of crisp, tart flavor in every single bite without it overpowering the avocado.
  10. Don't be afraid to customize! For a spicy kick, add one finely minced jalapeño or serrano pepper. For a festive look, sprinkle some pomegranate seeds on top before serving.
