Try these fun doughnut-shaped apple rounds - you can experiment with your own toppings and they're a great addition to your party food repertoire!

Serves: 12

Time to make: 10 mins

Ingredients

More weights & measures

3 large apples, red and green
3 tablespoons smooth no-added-salt-or-sugar peanut butter
To decorate
3 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes
3 tablespoons freeze-dried raspberries and pumpkin seeds
3 tablespoons dark chocolate chips and granola

Instructions

1 Use a sharp knife to slice the top and bottom off each apple. Cut remaining apple horizontally into 1cm-thick discs. Each apple should give you 3–4 slices. Using a corer or knife, make a hole in the centre of each slice.

2 Spread each apple ring with equal amounts of peanut butter.

3 Sprinkle with the toppings and serve immediately.

Variations

Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free granola and check chocolate chips are gluten free.

HFG tip

Feel free to use any combination of toppings – Try dried fruit, fresh berries, mixed chopped seeds and nuts, or even your favourite breakfast cereal.
