Pro Tips for Success:

  • Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith so the slices hold their shape and crunch.

  • Chill your apples before slicing – it makes spreading the peanut butter way easier.

  • Try almond butter or sunflower butter if you need a peanut-free option.

  • Set up a topping bar so guests can create their own apple donuts – fun for parties!
