Fall Recipes: 14 Snacks Using Apples

Apple bread

1. Applesauce
2. Apple slices and peanut butter
3. Soft-cooked apples and pears (really good with plain whole milk yogurt)
4. Oatmeal and soft-cooked apple chunks
5. Apple "sandwiches" (slices of apple with fillings inside - peanut butter, cream cheese, slices of cheese, etc. I first saw the idea here.)
6. Ants on a circle(?!) instead of ants on a log. The circle being apple, of course!
7. Apple and cheese slices
8. Apple chips
9. Apples and dips*
10. Cream cheese filled apple halves (cut an apple in half, scoop out the seeds in the middle and fill with some softened cream cheese)
11. Baked apples (I'm looking forward to trying out this recipe)
12. Apple bread*
13. Apple muffins*
14. Apple fruit salad (Apple being the star of the seasonal fruit salad. Or to make it more fun, take out the center of an apple and serve the fruit salad IN the apple. For older toddlers/kids, of course.)

As always, use discretion with the ideas - some are appropriate for babies, some for young toddlers, and some just for older toddlers.

*Apple bread and muffin recipes as well as dip ideas are coming soon!
