Do you have a hard time coming up with snacks for your kids that are healthy, easy, and quick to make? Not to mention ones that don’t break your grocery budget??

I started making these apple “cookies” last year, and my kids go cuh-razy over them. (Granted, they’re all extremely easy to please in the food department, but still…) I love them because they’re a great healthy snack I can quickly whip up with ingredients I have on hand. And my kids love them because they’re filling and delicious!

One of the best things about them is how versatile they are! You can top them with just about anything you want, and I’ll give you plenty of ideas below! (I’ll give you some ideas for turning this into more of a dessert than a snack, too, just for balance. 😉)

We’re in the height of apple season, so it’s the perfect time to make these apple “cookie” snacks!



How to Make Apple “Cookies”

Apple “cookies” are an easy, (mostly) healthy snack kids love and parents can get on board with! Here’s how to make these delightful treats.

Tools You’ll Need:

  • Apple corer
  • Sharp knife
  • Butter knife, spatula, or spreader

Ingredients:

  • Apples (½ – 1 apple per kid)
  • Peanut butter (or any nut butter)
  • Toppings (see below for ideas)

Directions:

  1. Use an apple corer to remove the core
  2. Turn the apple on its side and slice into ~½” slices (so the hole is in the middle of the slice)
  3. Spread peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice) over the top of the slice
  4. Top with toppings of your choice (see below for ideas)

Alternative: Make it more of a dessert treat by swapping the PB for Nutella, caramel sauce, or one of our recent favorite finds — ALDI’s Sea Salt Caramel Hummus!
