The holidays are fast approaching. EEEK! Why not get into the spirit with Christmas Wreath Apple Slices!They’re quick to make and the kids just love them! Probably my favorite part is they’re peanut free, making them safe for most school snacks!
The holidays don’t have to be all about cookies, cakes and pies. Try this fun, colorful snack that makes apples and SunButter the hot snack choice of the season! The frosting is made with SunButter, powdered sugar and food dye.
The green SunButter is piped onto the apple slices using a pastry bag and a frosting tip. Watch the how-to video below for specifics on how the wreath is created by pulling the frosting back quickly.

What a cute treat, I bet the kids love making these!
I think they love eating them more than they enjoy making them! 🙂
These are such a great idea! I bet my kids would love these. At first I thought it was frosting but love that it’s a sun butter frosting!
Exactly! SunButter and apples just go together!
So cute! I bet my girls would love to find a wreath apple slice in their lunches!
I bet they would too! My son’s friends all think his lunches are fantastic!
Such a great alternative to cookies, there is so much junk around the holidays it’s nice to see some healthier recipes!
I couldn’t agree more! They’d be the perfect holiday appetizer!
The details on these apple slices are amazing! What a cute recipe 🙂
Thank you! They really are a cute, healthy dessert/snack idea!
So creative! I don’t think they would look as pretty if I did them, but I bet they’d taste great no matter what. Love that you used SunButter in it!
You’d be really surprised how easy it is to make the shape of the wreath! I bet yours would look beautiful too!
These are so cute! I’ll have to take them to pre-school for their Christmas party.
Thank you, Amanda. They’re the perfect snack to bring to school! I hope the kids enjoy them as much as we do.
These are absolutely lovely! What a great idea that seems simple enough to make.
Thank you, Kathy! My boys really loved them!
