These easy Apple Pikelets will certainly help to keep the kids (and your own!) tummies full! They have no added sugar, are freezer friendly and both regular and Thermomix instructions included.
Pikelets are such a great snack for the kids, and we regularly add them to my boys lunch boxes, enjoy them as a snack – and even for breakfast! If your kids are anything like mine, you will often find yourself with half eaten apples lying around the house or coming home in lunch boxes. Instead of throwing these pieces of perfectly good fruit out (even if they have slightly coloured) I like to grate them up and turn them into these easy Apple Pikelets!
You can use whatever type of apples you have for this recipe, and while I like to leave the skin on, you can certainly peel them if you prefer. I don’t add sugar to this recipe as I find the apples provide enough sweetness – and if you then top these pikelets with jam like my kids enjoy, you really don’t need it!
My Tips for How to Make these Apple Pikelets
- You can use any type of apple you like for this recipe.
- If you have slightly more or less than two apples – that’s ok! The recipe will still work out.
- I prefer to leave the skin on my apples, however you can peel them first if you prefer.
- These pikelets are freezer friendly and will last up to two months in the freezer.
