Apple Ring Treats
Apples cut into rings, then topped with peanut butter (or any nut or seed butter) make a canvas for an array of toppings, such as coconut, granola, dried fruit, crushed cereal or mini chocolate chips. Kids can mix-and-match toppings to decorate their own slices, so they will not only be fueling themselves healthfully, they'll be having creative fun, too.
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Ingredients
- 1 large, sweet apple (8 ounces), such as Honeycrisp or Gala
- 1/4 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter or other nut/seed butter
- 1/3 cup total any mix of toppings, such as shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, granola, raisins, chopped dried fruit and/or crushed ready-to-eat cereal
Directions
Step 1
Slice the apple crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices and, using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out the core at the center of each slice to create apple rings. You should wind up with at least 6 rings.
Step 2
Spread 2 teaspoons of the peanut butter on top of each ring, then top each with a mix of toppings as desired, about 1 tablespoon of toppings on each ring. Eat immediately or keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
