Apple Snacks
My friend always hosts a Christmas Eve party for her family and friends at her house. The last couple of years she’s done appetizers and snacks as goodies.
She sets the table with a delicious array of cheeses, meats, and breads to snack on. Last year she served this little goodie as well…apples drizzled with honey and served with bleu cheese.
You won’t believe how good (and good for you) this very easy little snack is. The combination of apples, honey and blue cheese just pop with flavor in your mouth.
She served this appetizer on a pretty cutting board with the honey in a honey bear container and the blue cheese in a separate bowl. The apples were whole. The guests cut the apples into pieces on their own and added the honey and blue cheese to their own liking. It worked out very well.
Which got me thinking…
As good as the combination of bleu cheese, apples and honey are, you could also choose to have crushed nuts, apples and honey. A good for you snack that’s so easy to prepare that adults as well as KIDS would gobble it up!
Mom’s, you could core the apples and cut them into rounds instead of wedges to make it easier for the kids to handle and let them put the the toppings on themselves.
If your children have any nut allergies, dip the apples in honey and coat with a crushed dry, unsweetened cereal like Cheerios. The cereal would add a nice little crunch to their healthy snack and make it Gluten free as well as delicious!
The possibilities for this little treat are endless. I’m sure you’ll come up with your own version, and if you do I’d love to hear about it! Apple Snacks… healthy, easy and delicious. Enjoy!
