Ingredients
Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) – 4 large
Creamy peanut butter – 1 ⅓ cups
Roasted coconut flakes – 2 tbsp
Fresh blueberries – ¼ cup
Fresh strawberries, sliced – ¼ cup
Rainbow sprinkles – 1 tbsp
White chocolate, melted – 2 tbsp
Dark chocolate, melted – 2 tbsp
Instructions
Wash the apples thoroughly and pat them dry.
Slice each apple horizontally into ½ inch thick rings. Discard the stem and base slices.
Use a small circular cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, or a melon baller to pop out the core/seeds from the center of each ring.
Evenly spread approximately 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter onto one side of each apple ring.
Decorate with coconut, berries, and sprinkles. Finish with a drizzle of melted dark or white chocolate if using.
Notes
• To prevent browning, dip apple slices in a mixture of water and lemon juice before adding peanut butter.
• Use “no-stir” peanut butter for a smoother, more stable finish.
• For a vegan version, ensure your chocolate drizzles are dairy-free.
