Apples Snacks are such a great treat for after school or anytime. These Trail Mix Apple Pops are so yummy and are packed with nutrition to keep your kiddos going all day. Give them a boost of energy after a busy day at school or before a sports practice or game.
Trail Mix Apple Snacks
Ingredients:
- Apples
- Lemon Juice – preferably fresh
- Peanut Butter
- Peanuts – or other nuts
- Dried Cranberries, dried cherries or other dried fruit
- Chocolate Candy Melts
- Paper Lollipop Sticks
Instructions:
Cut apples into wedges. The wedges should be big enough that they will not split when the stick is inserted.
Soak the apple wedges in a bowl of water mixed with fresh lemon juice for several minutes. This will keep the apples from turning brown after they are cut.
Remove the apples from the water and dry them completely.
Carefully insert a lollipop stick into each apple wedge. They should easily puncture the skin and slide right in.
Chop nuts and dried fruit into small pieces and set aside.
Coat each apple wedge with peanut butter and stand in a jar or glass.
Melt the chocolate candy melt according to package instructions.
Add a thin layer of melted chocolate to each peanut butter coated apple wedge.
While chocolate is still melted, sprinkle nuts and fruit onto apple.
Return apple pops to glass jar and let chocolate harden.
When chocolate is hard you can individually package each trail mix pop or serve these apple snacks from a cute jar or vase.
