Apple Butter

vinegar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon cloves(ground)
Core and quarter unpeeled apples, then chop up or put in blender with
water and vinegar. Cook in a saucepan over low heat until the mixture
gets thick and turns brown. Stir occasionally. This will take 2-3
hours (1/4 of that time in a microwave oven). Add sugar and spices
and cook for 1/2 hour more. Refrigerate, then spread on toast or muffins.
Apple Juice
Ingredients: 1/2 cup seeded apples -1 cup water -1 tsp. sugar Blend
the ingredients in a blender. Serve chilled.
Apple Honey Grahams
Ingredients: Apples, graham crackers, peanut butter, optional: honey
Give each child a slice of apple and a table knife for dicing the
apple. Spread a graham cracker slice with peanut butter. Add honey,
if you like. sprinkle diced apples on top.
Apple Sandwiches
Ingredients: apples, peanut butter.
Slice apples the "round way" so that a star is formed in
the center. Spread a slice with peanut butter and top with a second
slice to form a sandwich. (You won't need to core the apples if the
slices are thin.) You can use the leftover end pieces for making
applesauce or for dicing on the apple grahams.
Individual Apple Pies:
Ingredients: ready-made pie crust (the kind that comes packaged flat
in the dairy case) canned apple pie filling
Have each child cut out two large circles of pie crust (using a
large, round cookie cutter or a large plastic drinking cup).
Put a spoonful of pie filling in the middle of one circle. Place the
second dough circle on top. Use a fork to crimp the edges and pierce
a few holes in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake in a toaster
oven 10-15 minutes or until brown.
Stuffed Apple
Core, then stuff opening with peanut butter mixed with raisins, wheat
germ or granola. Slice in half and wrap in plastic, or store in a
sandwich bag.
