Apple Slice Donuts Snack
My kids are always clamoring for an after school snack as soon as they rush through the door. Most of the time, they’ll grab some fruit or a granola bar or one of the other easy snacks we have on hand. But once in a while, it’s fun to surprise them with a really fun after school snack that is totally unexpected! These Apple Slice Donuts were a huge hit with my whole family.
What’s even more fun is these Apple Slice Donuts are perfect as a April Fools prank! Load your “donut” apple slices into an empty donut box and don’t give away the secret right away, just tell them you bought donuts. See how long it takes the kiddos to figure out the trick! My youngest two were convinced they were donuts, my older two kept asking questions and were confused. They really do look like donuts and are a cinch to make!聽聽This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience.

Directions
Slice apples to about 陆 inch thick. Core out the center using an apple corer, knife, or a frosting tip, if you have one.
Combine cream cheese and powdered sugar.
Spread cream cheese mixture on to half the apples and nutella on to the other half.
Sprinkle with colored sprinkles.
Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Then try your best not to gobble down 2 or 3! They are addicting and oh-so good! The best part is, they are a much healthier substitute for donuts by cutting out the donut bread and all the carbs that go with it. They may not be the healthiest after school snack, but they are a welcome surprise that are better for you than donuts! Enjoy!

Have you ever made a fun treat to trick your kids for April Fool’s Day?聽
Oh wow… What a great snack idea. I would have never thought of anything like this. My kids are going to love it. Thanks so much..
This is super genius! You’re right , it’s not the healthiest, but it’s still much healthier than donuts. So cute too!
I love this snack. It is something I can let the kids make and eat. Thank you for the recipe.
We have one grandson who cannot eat enough apples. He’s a teen now but has loved apples since he was a toddler. On the other hand… our granddaughter will eat applesauce but that’s it. but I know your Apple Slice Donut recipe will be an absolute win with our granddaughter. A win win all the way around!
Yum, part treat, part fruit and all parts delicious! Would be a great after school snack for sure!
Nutella and sprinkles make everything taste 10x better 馃檪 What a fun snack for the kiddos!
Yum! These look adorable and they’re sinfully delicious!
When I was growing up, dipping apples in Nutella was a thing we did all the time! You wouldn’t think they’d pair well, but they do!
These are adorable and look tasty. I bet I could get away without adding sugar to the cream cheese since the apple and spinkles are sweet. Nutella is delicious but don’t buy it because of allergies. However peanut butter or even cookie butter would be great. Thanks for the idea!
These apple slice donuts looks delicious. I will try it.
