Evil Queen: A "Poison" Apple Donut Recipe

These are no ordinary donuts....These are the Evil Queen's poison apple donut recipe. Everyone already knew about the Evil Queen and her vicious plot to end Snow White with a delicious apple, but today, it's going to take a little more work to get an apple eaten. 

These treats are great for a Disney themed party, as a treat while watching Snow White, or as a treat for your classroom after reading the book. In fact, there are a couple versions of the Story Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, so teachers could have a little compare and contrast lesson and then end it with a poisonous treat. 

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Disney and Grump: The (fairly) True Tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are some great books to choose for a comparison lesson.
