Ingredients

Apple "Donuts"
  • 1 large apple
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (or other nut/seed butter)
Topping Ideas
  • hemp hearts
  • granola
  • mini chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • sprinkles or chopped nuts

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Hold the apple sideways so you can slice rounds, directly through the core with the seeds. You should get roughly 7 to 8 slices from a large apple, depending on how thick you make the slices. (I like them to be between ⅛-inch and ¼-inch thick.)
  2. Use an apple corer, a small cookie cutter, or the round side of a frosting tip to cut out circles from the center of each apple slice. This will remove their seeds and make each slice look like a donut shape.
  3. Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on each slice, then add your favorite toppings. You can mix and match! Add granola or chopped nuts for a crunchy bite, sprinkles or chocolate for a sweet flavor, or hemp hearts for added protein. Serve them right away for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Nutrition information is for 2 apple slices with peanut butter, assuming you get 8 slices from 1 large apple. This information is just a rough estimate, not a guarantee, since your toppings will vary each time.
