Step 4

Sprinkle the spice mixture over the apple slices, ensuring each slice gets a nice layer of seasoning. Use your fingers or gently toss the slices to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 5

Arrange the seasoned apple slices on a serving plate. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added Mediterranean flair.

Step 6

Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer. Enjoy the sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors!
