Easy No-Bake Apple Treats!

By Christel Hoydic August 21, 2021
On Saturday, my family and I visited Sky Top Orchard. I know at least some of you were there on that same day because it was PACKED!!! Were you there? Did you wait in the hour in a half long line for doughnuts? We didn't, but I plan on taking the kids one day this week just to get some. :-) The following article is timely since my 5 and 3 year old just wanted to pick, pick, pick and we came home with more apples than we know what to do with! Here is a picture of them below:




Read on for some fun things to do with all those apples you picked this season.

Macintosh, Gala, Honey Crisp, Granny Smith ...

Whatever apple you prefer, this is the season for picking, baking, and eating! Try some of these yummy apple treats. They're quick and easy - no baking required - and sure to be a hit with everyone this fall.

APPLE CIDER FLOATS
Only two ingredients needed - apple cider and vanilla ice cream. Pour the apple cider in a glass, drop in a large scoop of ice cream and enjoy!


PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY APPLE WAFFLES
The title says it all - peanut butter, jelly, waffles, and apples. Toast two frozen waffles. Spread the peanut butter on one side & the jelly on the other. Place sliced apples on one half and put the waffle sandwich together. Breakfast or Lunch?!?


APPLE STACK SANDWICH
Here's another easy snack and healthy alternative when you're craving something sweet. An apple sliced horizontally, peanut butter, granola, and chocolate chips. Layer the ingredients and enjoy as a sandwich or cut it up and eat with a fork.


APPLE CHEDDAR TACO
 
Calling it a taco just makes it fun! This is another treat that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or an after school snack. Toast a tortilla directly on oven rack for 3-5 minutes. Place 2 slices of cheddar cheese and a few slices of apples on half of the shell. Fold the tortilla in half and place it back in the oven just long enough for the cheese to start melting. Now enjoy this unique and delicious combination!
