Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 Kroger® Granny Smith Apples, large
4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
4 mini peanut butter cookies
4 raspberries
8 candy eyes
8 mini pretzels
Green and red holly-shaped sprinkle
small star cookie cutter
small round cookie cutter

Steps:

Make the frosting: Add the cream cheese to a medium bowl and whisk until creamy. Add the honey and vanilla, and whisk until combined and smooth. Set aside.
Slice the apples crosswise into ⅛-inch thick rounds starting 1 inch up from the bottoms. Each apple should yield 3-4 slices, or 12-16 total. Reserve the remaining apple trimmings for another use. Remove any seeds, then pat the apple slices with a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.
To make the reindeer apple cookies, scoop 1 tablespoon of peanut butter onto an apple slice and spread evenly over the surface. Place a mini peanut butter cookie at the lower center of the slice, then place a raspberry on top of the cookie. Add 2 candy eyes to the middle and 2 pretzels on the top as antlers. Repeat to make 3-4 more reindeer cookies.
To make the star apple cookies, spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese frosting evenly over an apple slice.
Place a small star-shaped cookie cutter in a small bowl of hot water for 1-2 minutes. Remove the cutter from the water and quickly pat dry, then cut out a star-shaped hole from the center of the apple slice. Place the cutout star in an offset position over the star-shaped hole and decorate with festive sprinkles. Repeat to make 3-4 more star cookies.
To make the wreath apple cookies, use a small round cookie cutter to cut out a round hole from the center of an apple slice. Transfer the remaining cream cheese frosting to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip and pipe around the apple slice in circular curlicues, until you have gone all the way around the apple slice 2 times. Decorate with green and red holly-shaped sprinkles. Repeat to make 3-4 more wreath cookies.
Enjoy!

These cookies were a little dry. I think I should have added more butter.

I think these cookies would be even better if you used a different type of apple. I used Granny Smith apples and they were a little too tart for my taste.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover apples. I always have a few apples that need to be used up and these cookies are the perfect way to do it.

I was a little skeptical about how these cookies would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. They're really delicious and the apple slices add a nice crunch.
