Page: Easy Fall Family Fun Recipe: Apple Cinnamon “Donuts” Looking for a fun fall treat that’s easy for the whole family to make?
These Apple Cinnamon Donuts require no baking...You’ll need: • 1–2 apples, • Peanut, sunflower, or pumpkin butter; caramel sauce, cream cheese, whipped cream
• Optional toppings: cinnamon, cereal, raisins, granola, chocolate chips, sprinkles, cranberries, sliced bananas, etc.
Always check ingredient labels to make sure your choices are safe for your family’s specific food allergies. Choose toppings that best fit your family’s needs, and avoid. Make it together: Have an adult slice the apples into rounds & carefully remove the center to create a “donut.” Let everyone spread on their favorite topping & decorate! While you snack, start a conversation: “What was one thing that made you smile at school this week?”
No fancy plans needed; just a few minutes together can create a moment that matters. Connect. Talk. Laugh. Enjoy. That’s ROWUSD FALL CONNECTION
