Start by melting the milk chocolate. In a small bowl, microwave it for about 30 seconds. After that, stir it well and return it to the microwave, repeating the process until it’s completely melted. This will ensure a smooth consistency.
Next, melt the peanut butter in a similar way. A small bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds should do the trick. Stir it until it’s creamy and easy to drizzle.
If you want to make it easier to apply the melted milk chocolate and peanut butter, transfer them into ziplock bags. This will allow you to pipe the toppings over the apple slices.
Now, slice the apples into 12 pieces, each about 1/4-inch thick. It's important to maintain a consistent thickness so they cook evenly and remain sturdy.
Using a 1-inch round cookie cutter, core the apple slices. If you don’t have one, a knife can work, but be careful not to cut all the way through the apple.
Place the cored apple slices on some wax paper. This will make cleanup easier and prevent the chocolate and peanut butter from sticking.
Now, it’s time to drizzle! Use your ziplock bags to pipe the melted milk chocolate and peanut butter over the apple slices. Get creative with the design!
Once drizzled, sprinkle your choice of optional toppings over the apple slices. This is where you can customize your Donut Shaped Apple Snacks to suit your taste.
Finally, these treats are best enjoyed right away! Serve them fresh for the ultimate experience.
