Kids in the Kitchen-Apples!

This week E and I got into the kitchen to make some tasty apple snacks!  E loves to help me in the kitchen, so I love when we can make snacks that I don’t involve cooking, and neither of these do! 

First we made Squirmy Wormy Apples! 

You will need:

• An Apple
• Peanut Butter
• Gummy Worms (veto your kids and skip the neon sour worms!)

Directions: Pierce an apple with a straw or a skewer (we used a blunt chopstick).  Cut the apple in half and dig out the seeds and core. 

Fill in the center of the apple with the peanut butter.  Add a gummy worm and put the two halves back together.  How simple is that?!
 

We made this snack, too. It is a variation on these Apple Cartwheels that I found. 
I would have loved to try this version, but I didn’t have all of the ingredients, so I used what I had, which was….

• An Apple
• Peanut Butter
• Walnuts
• A Hershey Kiss (yes, one lonely Hershey Kiss from the depths of my pantry)

Directions: Core the apple and cut it into discs.  Spoon peanut butter into the core opening.  Using a cheese grater, grate the Hershey kiss over the apple.  Sprinkle with some walnut pieces. 

This was seriously good. I have no doubt that I will make this again, and it was SUPER easy.  E and I both enjoyed our snacks, so let us know if you make them too!
