Red Spiced Apple Rings

🍎 Red Spiced Apple Rings

A simple, sweet, and lightly spiced snack or dessert. Great for breakfast, lunch, or a healthy treat!

Ingredients

• 2–3 apples (any firm variety, like Honeycrisp or Gala)

• 1–2 teaspoons cinnamon

• 1–2 teaspoons sugar (optional)

• Optional: a pinch of nutmeg or allspice

Instructions

1. Prepare the apples

   • Core the apples and slice them into rings about ¼–½ inch thick.

2. Mix the spice

   • In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, sugar, and optional spices.

3. Coat the apples

   • Sprinkle or gently toss apple rings in the spice mixture.

4. Cook (two options)
   Oven:

   • Preheat to 350°F (175°C)

   • Place apple rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment

   • Bake 15–20 minutes until soft but still hold shape
     Microwave (super quick):

   • Place rings on a microwave-safe plate

   • Microwave 2–3 minutes until tender

5. Serve warm or cold

   • Perfect as a snack, dessert, or even on oatmeal/yogurt

Tips

• For extra sweetness, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup before serving

• Add a few crushed nuts for crunch

• Store leftovers in the fridge; reheat for a soft, warm treat

If you want, I can make a glazed, dessert-style version that looks and tastes fancy but is still super easy.
