This Cheerios Snack with Apples and maple syrup post is sponsored by General Mills and Winn Dixie. All opinions are mine
I found a way to make cheerios taste even better. Only 2 ingredients added to it and it completely changes the taste of these amazing breakfast recipe.
Green apples have a nice tart taste and cheerios are a light taste. I combined the two and added pure maple syrup to add natural sweetness to it.
The cinnamon sugar was a last minute addition. It was sitting on my counter and I figured it would make the cheerios taste amazing. I am happy to report that it enhanced the taste of the snack without overpowering it.
You can add milk to this cereal and eat it for breakfast. I liked it with milk and also just as a regular snack. I found myself sitting at my desk and munching on them while I worked. Fair warning, these cheerios snack can be very addicting.
WinnDixie always has all the ingredients in this recipe at very affordable rates. I find their cereals to be more affordable than other places.
What is your favorite way to eat cheerios?
Easy Cheerios and Apples Snack
1) In a bowl, add 1 cup of finely chopped apples. I went with granny smith apples that hadn’t ripened yet. This made sure that they didn’t get soggy or go limp during the cooking process.
2) Add 1 Tbsp of maple syrup to the apples and mix well. I used pure maple syrup in this recipe but you can choose regular maple syrup
3) Microwave for 30 seconds and then remove from heat. Allow it to cool for a few minutes. Place the apples in a pan and add 3 cups of cheerios. Mix well and then top with 1/4 tsp of cinnamon powder
4) Transfer to a bowl and serve. Eat by itself or add 2 cups of milk and enjoy.

I help my granddaughter’s school by purchasing items with the boxtops.
Thank you, Birdiebee
I help my local schools by collecting box tops for my nieces and nephews. I also homeschool, so I’m helping to keep the class sizes down, while still paying my share of the taxes 🙂
Thank you, Jamie. I am so happy to hear that. You are awesome for home schooling and for collecting the box tops
I collect box tops for our school

I love anything that is going to help raise money for schools. Thanks for this! You are right, it is so simple. A tiny bit of effort can make a huge impact.
Thank you, Rachael
I’d like to see the money go towards the arts: music, painting, sculpture, dance, etc, all the things that help our children be more successful in life by tapping into their creativity that have been removed from the schools.
Thank you, Michelle. I want to see the money go to arts too.
This sounds delcicious! My toddler is all about cheerios right now!

Thank you, Holly
What a great looking snack and so quick to prepare.. Well done.
Thank you, Mark
I used to be a teacher, so I love to see when people are participating in the box tops program! I have never eaten apples in my cereal, only berries and bananas. I think I’ll try apples next time!
Thank you, Willow
What a great recipe! It reminds me of apple cinnamon cheerios, my favorite cheerios when I was a kid. The fact that it has real apples is even better.
The box tops program is so great. My mom is a teacher at my former elementary school and the amount of money they receive from the program is not insignificant! I save all of my physical ones to give to her and eboxtops get rid of all the trouble!
Thank you, Tracy. I know what you mean. This is such a great program and more people should know about it. It helps so many people when it works. You continue playing your wonderful part in this program. I am happy to hear that.
I love this idea, super simple but a crunchy snack that is not too bad for you. I far prefer cereal without the milk!
Thank you, Helen
Would love to see the box tops help with art supplies
Thank you, Tammy. I couldn’t agree more.
