Wash the apples thoroughly. Using an apple corer or a sharp knife, remove the core. Cut each apple into 8 even slices.
In a medium bowl, add the apple slices and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Toss gently to coat each slice completely. This step is crucial to prevent the slices from browning.
Portion the hazelnut butter into four small dipping bowls, adding 2 tablespoons to each. If the butter is stiff, stir it well to make it creamier.
Arrange the lemon-tossed apple slices on a platter or serving board. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over both the apple slices and the hazelnut butter for extra flavor and aroma.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best crisp texture and fresh flavor.
