For each apple, choose a type of Snackster below and follow the steps. You might want to ask an adult to help cut up the apples.
To Make a Snackster Stacker---
Use an apple corer to remove the center of the apple, making a hollow space from stem end through the bottom.
With a sharp knife, cut apple crosswise into 4 thick slices.
Dip apple slices in lemon water and gently pat dry with paper towels.
Starting with the bottom piece, use a butter knife to spread the peanut butter mixture on the cut sides of each slice and gently press them together to reassemble the apple.
To make a stem, top apple with a mint sprig.
To Make a Snackster Dipper---
With a sharp knife, cut each apple in half from stem end to bottom.
Cut each half into 4 to 6 wedges. With knife or melon ballet remove apple core from each wedge.
Dip wedges in lemon water and gently pat dry with paper towels.
Spoon the peanut butter mixture into a small bowl and surround with apple wedges for dipping.
Note: Honey should not be fed to infants under one year of age. Honey is a safe and wholesome food for children and adults.
