As simple as they come, all you’ll need is apples for this recipe but add a dash of cinnamon and even brown sugar to taste if you like. You can use any apples for this recipe but those with a little tartness like Granny Smiths work best. Set aside some time for this recipe as the apples need to bake for approximately three hours.

Apple bagel snacks

There are many ingredients you can use in your apple bagel sandwich, but simple peanut butter is the easiest.

We recommend Honey Crisp or Mutzo apples.
