"Candy" Apple Wedges


Makes one serving per apple

These apple wedges are the perfect not to sweet, healthy Halloween treat! Making these crunchy treats is both fun to decorate, and delicious to eat. Whether at a Halloween party; or after school, kids will have fun adding their own personal touch.







Ingredients
Apples
Cold water
Lemon juice
Nut butter or sunflower butter
Agave nectar, maple syrup or honey

Toppings
Granola
Chocolate chips
Coconut

Goji berries
Raisins
Chopped nuts
Wheat germ or ground flax meal


Directions:
1. Cut and core apples.
2. Soak apples, cold water and a few drops of lemon juice in a bowl for a few minutes. This will prevent the apples from browning.
3. Dry thoroughly.
4. Spread nut butter or agave on each apple wedge.
5. Decorate with your kids!

Unsulphured Dried Fruit
Unsulphured fruits are the healthier choice when it comes to dried fruit varieties because they maintain more natural vitamins. Dried, unsulphured coconut is no exception. It contains a good amount of potassium, iron and fiber. Coconut is also naturally delicious, giving a tropical kick to any recipe!
