Ingredients

  • 1 large apple
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
  • sprinkles, granola, mini chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, etc. (optional toppings)

Instructions

  • Slice the apple into large round circles. You should get 6 to 8 slices that are a ¼-inch thick, depending on the size of your apple. Use an apple corer, small cookie cutter, or a frosting piping tip to cut circles out of the center of each apple slice. (This will conveniently remove the seeds and make it look like a donut!)

  • Spread a thin layer of peanut butter or your favorite nut butter on each slice.

  • Then sprinkle on any toppings you love, like hemp hearts for added protein. Enjoy them soon after decorating for the best flavor and texture.
