No-Bake Apple Donuts are a fun, healthy, and easy-to-make treat combining the crisp sweetness of apples with a creamy, nutty coating. These apple donuts are perfect for a quick snack, a party appetizer, or a creative twist on traditional donuts. They’re customizable with your favorite toppings and require no baking!

Ingredients

  • 2 large apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (or almond butter for a nut-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Toppings (optional): granola, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Wash and slice the apples into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick rounds. Use a small cookie cutter or knife to remove the core, creating a donut hole in the middle of each slice.
  2. Make the peanut butter coating: In a small bowl, mix together peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth.
  3. Coat the apple slices: Dip each apple slice into the peanut butter mixture, coating both sides evenly.
  4. Add the toppings: Sprinkle your choice of toppings, such as granola, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or mini marshmallows, onto the coated apple slices.
  5. Chill (optional): Refrigerate the apple donuts for 15-20 minutes to help the coating firm up. This step is optional but helps make the donuts sturdier.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. Enjoy the healthy and delicious apple donuts!
