Light, naturally sweet apple balls — quick, easy, and perfect for family gatherings, holidays, or a healthy treat anytime.
Ingredients:
2.2 lbs (1 kg) apples, peeled and grated
1 1/3 cups (300 g) granulated sugar
1 cup (100 g) finely ground cookies or digestive biscuits
1 cup (100 g) finely chopped or ground walnuts
Extra for rolling: walnuts, shredded coconut, or colorful chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
Peel and grate the apples, then mix with sugar in a large bowl until the sugar is evenly incorporated and the mixture softens slightly. Stir in the ground cookies and chopped walnuts until fully combined. Using slightly damp hands, form the mixture into small balls. Roll each ball in extra ground walnuts, shredded coconut, or colorful chocolate sprinkles for a finishing touch. Chill for 15–20 minutes before serving for best texture.
Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, aromatic flavor.
Swap walnuts with almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts for variety.
