Apple Cereal Treats Recipes

APPLE-CINNAMON CRUNCH TREATS

Steps:

• Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups. Place cereal in very large bowl; set aside.
• Heat 10-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add apples; stir to coat in butter and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Cover skillet with lid; cook 3 to 5 minutes longer or until apples are turning golden and liquid is gone. Sprinkle sugar over apples; stir. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows and cinnamon; cook and stir until marshmallows are completely melted. Stir in apples.
• Pour marshmallow mixture over cereal; fold to combine. Spoon into lined muffin cups. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes before serving.

WHOLE30 HOT APPLE CEREAL

Steps:

• Cut off the sides/cheeks from 1 apple and slice; reserve. Set aside 1/4 cup of the coconut milk.
• Peel and core the remaining 5 apples and cut into 1-inch chunks. Add the apple chunks, remaining 3/4 cup coconut milk and 2/3 cup water to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by half and the apples are tender and can be easily mashed with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and gently mash the apples, making sure to leave some chunks for texture.
• Meanwhile, pulse the cashews in a food processor until they are completely ground and resemble flour (be careful not to make butter). Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the flaxseed and cinnamon. Fold the cashew-flax mixture and raisins into the mashed apple mixture and stir until well combined.
• Divide the porridge among 4 bowls and drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of the reserved coconut milk. Top each bowl with apple slices, crushed cashews if using, raisins if using and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

CINNAMON-RAISIN CEREAL TREATS

Steps:

• Grease the inside of the Bundt pan with some butter.
• Melt the butter in a large pot set over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cinnamon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the marshmallows melt completely, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt. Add the crispy rice cereal and wheat bran cereal and stir with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape up the bottom, until the cereal is completely coated. Spoon the mixture into the prepared Bundt pan and pat down into an even layer (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help). Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes.
• To serve, invert the Bundt pan onto a serving platter. Whisk the sugar with 1 1/4 teaspoons water in a small bowl until a smooth, thick and pourable. Drizzle the glaze over the dessert and let it harden, about 5 minutes. Cut into slices. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
