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

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.)
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.
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.
