Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith)
Instructions
- Extract the core from each apple using an apple corer or carefully remove it with a sharp knife.
- Position the apples horizontally and slice them into uniform circular rounds approximately 1/4-inch thick, creating donut-like shapes.
- Prepare a protective citrus bath by mixing cold water with fresh lemon juice to prevent apple discoloration.
- Immerse the apple rounds in the citrus solution for one minute, then gently blot dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Select your preferred creamy or nutty spread and generously coat one side of each apple slice using a smooth, even motion.
- Select complementary toppings like chopped nuts, granola, chocolate chips, or shredded coconut to enhance flavor and texture.
- Delicately sprinkle chosen toppings across the spread, pressing them gently to ensure they adhere securely to the apple surface.
- Artfully arrange the decorated apple rounds on a decorative serving platter, creating an appealing presentation.
- Serve the donut apples immediately to maintain their fresh, crisp texture and prevent potential browning.
Notes
- Coring Tip: Use a thin, sharp knife to carefully remove apple cores if you lack an apple corer, ensuring clean and precise cuts.
- Slice Precision: Cut apple rounds exactly 1/4-inch thick for consistent, donut-like shapes that will hold toppings perfectly.
- Browning Prevention: Quickly soak apple slices in lemon-water mixture to maintain fresh, crisp appearance and prevent oxidation.
- Versatile Topping Options: Experiment with spreads like almond butter, cream cheese, or yogurt, and try various toppings such as granola, chia seeds, or chopped nuts for different flavor profiles.
