Apple-Cinnamon Dessert Rice Cakes

Fruity Treats

Suggested ages 9–12 Independent prep, with an adult nearby

4 topped rice cakes · Active 10 min · Total 10 min

A crisp rice cake can hold a small apple dessert without any baking. A thin seed-butter layer helps the applesauce stay in place. Add each topping by the spoonful and make these just before eating, while the base still crunches.

Start with the grown-up check

Four round plain rice cakes with a thin sunflower-seed-butter layer, a pale cinnamon applesauce mound and a few dark raisins on each.

Before you begin · grown-up check

The adult checks ready-to-eat ingredient labels and stays nearby; no heat or sharp tools are needed.

  • A grown-up checks ingredient labels, the workspace and the young cook’s readiness before starting. No heat is needed; the grown-up stays nearby.
  • Choose thick ready-to-eat applesauce and check rice-cake and seed-butter labels for additional ingredients and allergens.

Ages are a starting guide. A grown-up checks your readiness and stays nearby. Follow the actor label on every step.

Let’s make it

  1. Young cookWash hands with soap and water, clear the work area and read all the steps before measuring.
  2. Young cookStir applesauce and cinnamon together in the small bowl.
  3. Young cookLay rice cakes on the plate. Spread 1/2 tbsp sunflower-seed butter over each with the blunt spreading knife.
  4. Young cookSpoon 2 tbsp cinnamon applesauce onto the center of each rice cake, leaving a narrow edge bare.
  5. Young cookAdd 1/2 tbsp raisins to each and serve straight away. Keep the rice cakes flat so the soft topping stays on.

The skill you’re learning

Small measured toppings keep a crisp base from becoming overloaded. Assemble at the last moment because moisture gradually softens the rice cake.

Try one change

Use thick unsweetened pear puree in place of applesauce, in the same amount.

Serving & storing

Eat assembled rice cakes immediately for the best texture. Refrigerate unused applesauce at 40°F or colder within 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F; use within 1 day or its shorter label limit.
