Healthy Treats

For Kids

STUFFED APPLES

1 large or medium apple- cored but not peeled

Stuff apple with peanut butter, raisins, wheat germ and drizzle with honey.

Top with coconut or crushed granola

Dig in with a spoon or have fun trying to eat with your hands!

You may wish to microwave the empty cored apple for a few seconds to allow it to soften a bit.

This snack will travel well in a lunchbox or to a play date- the stuffing will help stop browning of the apple.
