Snacks/Cooking

Apple Butter

Ingredients: 4lbs. apples, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup apple cinder 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.
