Optional Toppings:
- Roasted coconut flakes
- Fresh blueberries
- Sliced strawberries
- Colorful sprinkles
- Drizzle of white chocolate
- Shavings of dark chocolate
Instructions
- Wash apples: Rinse under cold water and dry.
- Slice apples: Cut into ½-inch thick rings, discarding top and bottom slices.
