Tips:

  • Use fresh apples. Fresh apples will give your cereal treats the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh apples on hand, you can use unsweetened applesauce.
  • Don't overcook the marshmallows. Overcooked marshmallows will make your cereal treats tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are melted and smooth.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. You can add all sorts of mix-ins to your cereal treats, such as nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or candy. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Let the cereal treats cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.

With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious apple cereal treats that the whole family will love.
