The recipe is called Candy [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crisp-apple-fritter-cookie) Cookies, as described in this video. Not only are these easier to eat, but easier to make as well. All you need are some apples, any kind of your choice. You simply cut the apples into thin disks that resemble donuts. That’s about as hard as it gets, once cut you are ready to decorate your slices with caramel, chocolate and any other candy toppings you please. This recipe from the Brit & Co. blog is a fun project to do with the young ones and are also a healthier option to regular cookies. For example, by using organic peanut butter and raisins, you can enjoy dessert without the calories. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Mess-free Desserts:** Explore innovative ways to enjoy messy treats without the hassle and cleanup. - **Dessert Hacks:** Discover creative recipes that simplify the process of making desserts. - **Healthy Dessert Alternatives:** Explore innovative ways to make healthier dessert options. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity to create and market innovative dessert products and recipes. - **Home Cooking:** Opportunity to develop and promote convenient and easy-to-make dessert recipes for home cooks. - **Health and Wellness:** Opportunity to offer healthier dessert alternatives for health-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Apple Crumb Cake Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-crumb-cake.md) - [Autumnal Bite-Sized Apple Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-cinnamon-bitz.md) - [DIY Caramel Apple Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-apple-dipping-kit.md) - [Diner Dessert Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-apple-pie-a-la-mode.md) - [Scrambled Cookie Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scrambled-cookies.md) - [Energy Drink-Inspired Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crisp-apple-fritter-cookie.md) - [Seasonal Apple Shortbread Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-butter-apple-shortbread-cookies.md) - [Autumnal QSR Biscuit Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-caramel-apple-crisp.md) - [Rich Brownie-Packed Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-brookie.md)
