Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 apples
  • 1 ⅓ cups peanut butter

Suggested Toppings

  • Roasted coconut
  • Blueberries
  • Strawberries
  • Sprinkles
  • White chocolate
  • Dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Rinse the apples thoroughly under cold water to clean them.
  2. Slice the apples: Cut the apples into ½ inch thick slices, discarding the top and bottom pieces to create flat surfaces.
  3. Remove the cores: Use a small biscuit or cookie cutter or a melon baller to remove the core from each apple slice, creating a donut shape.
  4. Apply peanut butter: Spread the peanut butter evenly on one side of each apple slice.
  5. Add toppings: Sprinkle or add your preferred toppings such as roasted coconut, blueberries, strawberries, sprinkles, and drizzle with melted white or dark chocolate for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Choose firm apples such as Granny Smith or Fuji for the best texture.
  • You can lightly warm the peanut butter to make spreading easier if it’s too stiff.
  • Substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for nut-free options.
  • For a dairy-free chocolate drizzle, use vegan chocolate melts.
  • These apple donuts are best served immediately to maintain crispness.
