Creating these delicious wheels is as easy as 1-2-3. Follow these simple steps for a perfect snack every time.

1. Prepare the Apple: Wash and dry the apple thoroughly. Place the apple upright on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the apple horizontally into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick rounds. You should get about 4-5 “wheels” from one large apple.
2. Core the Slices: Lay the apple slices flat. Use a small cookie cutter, the wide end of a piping tip, or the cap of a small bottle to gently press out the center of each slice, removing the core and seeds. An apple corer can also be used on the whole apple before slicing for even quicker prep.
3. Spread the Peanut Butter: Pat the surface of the apple slices with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps the peanut butter adhere better. Using a butter knife or a small spoon, spread a thin, even layer of peanut butter over one side of each apple wheel.
4. Add the Toppings: Immediately sprinkle your desired toppings over the peanut butter. The peanut butter acts as a delicious “glue.” Gently press the toppings into the peanut butter to help them stick.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the finished Apple Peanut Butter Wheels on a plate and serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.
