Donut Hole Apples make the perfect Back to School Breakfast. This post is sponsored by Farm Rich. All opinions expressed here are my own.

Surprise your kids with this fun Back to School treat. They will love these Donut Hole Apples.
Imagine how surprised your child will be to find one of these sweet packages of Donut Hole Apples tucked away in his or her backpack.
The special note will surely make them smile and you'll love how easy these are to create using a box of Farm Rich Cinnamon Sugar Bakery Donut Holes.

To make these cute apple-shaped donut holes, you'll start by heating the donut holes in the microwave, oven, or toaster oven to warm them through. Then you will roll them in cinnamon sugar.
You'll find a packet of cinnamon sugar in the box with the Donut Holes. To transform the Donut Holes into apples all you have to do is color the cinnamon sugar using some red food coloring. I added a bit of white sugar to the mix just to be sure my red was really vibrant, but you can skip that step if you don't mind darker-colored apples.
Then roll the warm donuts into the red sugar and add a pretzel stick stem. It's that easy!

Turning the Donut Holes into apples only takes an extra minute or two and they make a perfect back-to-school breakfast or after-school snack.
The Donut Hole Apples would be cute just served on a plate but if you have time, you can turn them into a super special back-to-school treat.

Just package 4 of the Donut Hole Apples in a snack-size zip-top bag and add your favorite bag topper (there are three designs to choose from) then snuggle the bag into a lunch box or backpack.
I made the printable bag toppers so that they fit across a zip-top bag. Print out the page, then cut out around the tag, fold it in half along the middle line and tape it onto the bag.
