This is the doggy version of a snack your kids probably eat too — apple slices with peanut butter. It's simple, it's delicious, and it requires absolutely zero cooking skills. The crunch of the apple combined with the stickiness of peanut butter keeps dogs busy for a while, making it a surprisingly effective boredom-buster. Just slice, spread, and serve.
