Apple Cookies

Everyone loves a sweet treat after school and these apple cookies but a healthy twist on that idea.

For each recipe you start by coring the apples and cutting them into circles. Then covering them with the spread of choice and topping.

• Trail Mix = Peanut butter + granola and chocolate chips toppings
• Coconut Caramel = Caramel spread + toasted coconut
• Chocolate Hazelnut = Nutella + pretzel pieces
