It’s apple season — a perfect time to enjoy crisp, flavorful fruit. We’re especially excited about SweeTango® apples: a variety known for bright flavor, a lively crunch, and notes of citrus, honey, and spice. They’re delicious eaten fresh and make a fantastic ingredient in creative snacks.
One fun recipe that highlights SweeTango apples is SweeTango Sushi Rolls. These simple rolls combine crunchy apple, creamy almond butter, warm cinnamon, and a touch of honey for a kid-friendly snack that’s easy to make and fun to eat.
What sets SweeTango® apart is their juicy balance of sweetness and tartness plus a satisfyingly loud crunch. They are in season from late summer into fall, typically available from mid-August or early September through November or early December. Apples are also nutritious and support healthy digestion. With no fat or cholesterol, they’re a heart-healthy, energy-boosting snack for both adults and kids.
How To Make SweeTango Sushi Rolls
This SweeTango Sushi Rolls recipe appears in the eBook SweeTango® for ALL Eating Occasions. The combination of cinnamon, honey, and almond butter complements the juicy apple slices and creates a satisfying, snackable roll.
Begin by prepping the apple and bread. Cut the SweeTango apple into thin sticks to mimic sushi filling. Remove the crusts from bread slices so they roll easily. Spread almond butter evenly over the bread to act as a binder, lay the apple sticks on top, drizzle honey, and sprinkle cinnamon. Roll the bread tightly—press to help it hold together—then slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
Produce Moms Tip: If the almond butter is firm, warm it briefly in the microwave for a few seconds to make spreading easier.
