🛒 Ingredients (Makes 6-8 Apple Slice "Donuts")

• 2 large apples (red or green)

• ½ cup Greek yogurt (or cream cheese)

• ¼ cup peanut butter or almond butter (or sunflower butter for nut-free)

• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)

• Toppings: Granola, mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, shredded coconut, raisins, chopped nuts, or cinnamon

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Slice the Apples

Wash and core the apples using an apple corer.2️⃣ Slice the apples into ½-inch thick rounds (they should resemble donut shapes!).3️⃣ If you don’t have a corer, use a small cookie cutter or a knife to cut out the center.

Step 2: Choose Your Spread

Let kids spread a layer of yogurt, peanut butter, or chocolate over the apple slices. Mix honey into the yogurt for extra sweetness if desired.

Step 3: Add Fun Toppings!

Let kids sprinkle on their favorite toppings—granola, chocolate chips, sprinkles, or nuts. For a cinnamon sugar twist, mix a little cinnamon with honey and drizzle it on top.

Step 4: Enjoy!

Serve immediately for a crisp and fresh snack. If packing for later, brush apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
