Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 2 apples

Spreads

  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons frosting
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons Nutella

Toppings

  • ¼ cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
  • ½ banana, sliced
  • 23 fresh sliced strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon granola
  • 1 tablespoon sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Wash your apple thoroughly before slicing it vertically into several slices about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
  2. Create donut shapes: Remove the top and bottom portions of the apple and discard. Using a round cutter, remove the center of each apple slice to form a donut shape, discarding the cores and seeds.
  3. Dry the slices: Pat the tops of the remaining apple slices dry with a paper towel to help the spreads adhere better.
  4. Apply spreads: Spread your choice of cream cheese, frosting, peanut butter, or Nutella evenly over the top of each apple slice.
  5. Add toppings: Decorate each apple donut with your desired toppings such as mini marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, sliced bananas, fresh strawberries, granola, or sprinkles.
  6. Serve: Arrange the apple donuts on a plate and serve immediately for best freshness and taste. Enjoy your no bake treat!

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife or an appropriate round cutter to safely create donut shapes from the apples.
  • Patting the apple slices dry allows the spreads to stick better and prevents sliding.
  • Feel free to mix and match spreads and toppings according to your taste preferences.
  • Consume promptly to prevent the apples from browning; optionally, sprinkle with lemon juice to slow oxidation.
  • These make a great healthy snack for kids or a quick party treat.
