Weekly Recipe (May 22): Apple Rings

May 21, 2025

Looking for a quick, delicious, and healthy snack that fits your busy lifestyle? Meet Apple Rings! Simple, fresh apple slices topped with creamy natural peanut butter and sprinkled with no-sugar chocolate chips. This combo hits all the right notes: sweet, salty, crunchy, and incredibly satisfying.

Why Apple Rings?

No oven, no fuss, just pure goodness. These Apple Rings are not only easy to prepare, but they also deliver nutrients that help fuel your day and support your weight loss journey. Plus, they keep you energized without the sugar crash from typical snacks.

Here’s the deal with the ingredients:

Apple: A medium apple has about 95 calories, but when sliced into 10 rings, each ring is roughly 10 calories. Apples are rich in fiber and antioxidants, helping digestion and reducing inflammation.
Natural Peanut Butter: One tablespoon adds about 90-100 calories, packed with healthy fats and protein that keep you full longer and help regulate blood sugar. Natural means no added sugars or hydrogenated oils, just pure peanut bliss.
Low-Calorie Chocolate Chips: With no sugar or sweetened naturally with monk fruit or stevia, each tablespoon is 70-90 calories, adding sweetness without the extra calories.
Optional Cinnamon: Beyond flavor, cinnamon can help stabilize blood sugar and reduce cravings.

Together, this snack delivers a balanced mix of fiber, protein, and healthy fats, good for weight management and sustained energy.

How to Make Apple Rings

Prepare the apple: Wash a medium apple thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or an apple corer, remove the core and seeds.
Slice: Cut the apple crosswise into thin rings, about 0.5 cm thick. Aim for 10 slices for a medium apple.
Spread the natural peanut butter: On one side of each apple ring, spread a thin layer of natural peanut butter. Use creamy or crunchy, whichever you prefer. Consider 1 tablespoon for the 10 slices.
Add the chocolate chips: Sprinkle a small amount (about a tablespoon) of low-sugar chocolate chips on top of the 10 slices.
Optional: Lightly dust with cinnamon or add crushed nuts for extra crunch and flavor complexity.
