Donut-Style Apple Slices

I'll start out by saying that these are not a direct replacement for donuts. However, this apple snack certainly takes inspiration from donuts. Donuts are full of sugar and processed ingredients. This recipe eliminates all of that and offers nearly 11 grams of protein. It's a great snack or dessert to make with kids!
