the occasion allow you to show off
your patriotic pride.

A FRUIT-INFUSED
FOURTH OF JULY TREAT
If all the planning and entertaining
leaves you short on time, turn to
these Patriotic Apple “Donuts”
that swap out traditional dough for
thick, round apple slices topped with
cream cheese and sprinkles. With just
a few ingredients, you can slice the
apples then let little ones in on the fun
by spreading the cream cheese and
decorating with sprinkles.

of Envy Apples provides balanced
sweetness for these favorite desserts
