Apple Art: fun for kids and big kids too!
Apples can be made into a fun art exercise. Get creative with cutting shapes and then get the kids to build something with the shapes. Think a bit like it’s fruit Lego.
Use a toothpick or a skewer to hold together. Dip or drizzle apple pieces in chocolate and use muesli, oats or other fruits to add some fun highlights or create features.
Dip your apple slices in a little lemon juice to stop browning and add extra zing and Vitamin C. If soaking a lot of apple, use up to two cups of water and juice of one lemon to make the lemon go a bit further, and soak for a few minutes.
Easy, healthy Apple Art recipe
For a healthy choc dip or coating, mix the following together until smooth and creamy:
* 1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy and natural (or sunflower seed butter for nut-free option)
* 1 tbsp cocoa powder
Then spread on apple and sprinkle or arrange your choice of toppings to suit!
Toppings ideas
Rainbow sprinkles, chocolate sprinkles, cacao nibs, mini chocolate buttons, granola, chopped nuts or seeds.
