Peanut Butter Apple Cinnamon Roll

A quick and easy way to make
that decadent cinnamon roll
a little bit healthy.

• 1 Apple, cored and sliced thin
• 2 Tablespoons peanut butter
  (I prefer chunky, but smooth
  will work, too)
• 1 Store-bought cinnamon roll
  with frosting

Layer apple slices on a microwaveable plate. Heat in microwave for 15 – 20 seconds. This will soften the apple, but slices will still remain firm.
Now add the peanut butter in dollops on top and microwave another 10 seconds. Gently spread the softened peanut butter over the apples.

Place the frosted cinnamon roll on top and microwave for 30 – 35 seconds.

Let sit for a bit, then microwave another 10 seconds so that frosting melts down the sides.

Enjoy.

Reindeer Cookies

• BelVita, Nature Valley Biscuits or Nutter Butter cookies.
• White frosting
• Pretzels (I just happened to find some pumpkin spiced flavored yogurt covered pretzels. I show two different types of pretzels and two different cookies. One is just the single wafer, the other a sandwich cookie. Be creative and use what you find available.)
• Red and Brown M & M’s

So simple to make.

Cream together the softened cream cheese, sour cream and powdered sugar. Then fold in Cool Whip.
