Healthy Snack Idea from PE: It is always great to eat seasonally and locally. Since apples are in season right now, here is another fun snack idea using this delicious and healthy fruit. Enjoy!

Apple Donuts

Ingredients:

·  Large apple

·  Spread (peanut butter, hazelnut butter, sun butter, or cream cheese)

·  Toppings (sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips)

·  Lemon juice

Directions:

·  Slice the apple into ¼ inch thick slices, cutting across the round center of the apple (instead of cutting through the core)

·  Use an apple corer or mini icing tip to slice the core from the center of each slice so they are in a round shape like a donut

·  Squeeze a bit of lemon juice on the apple slices and gently pat them dry. You want them to be as dry as possible in order to “frost” the donuts

·  Add a thin layer of the spread to each slice

·  Sprinkle with toppings
