Love this! I do the same with mincemeat I make at Christmas. Yum!
I’m definitely going to try this, especially since I have some apples that are threatening to become less-fresh in my dorm.
Sounds like a perfect idea! We’d love it if you sent in a photo or two to our Editor once you make it.
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing. I’ve done that with a halved pear before…I’ll have to try this!
I’ve been looking for something just like this! My kids are gonna love this, especially since they love apples, but eating them all the time with pb can get boring.
That’s wonderful Kelly! We’re in the process of putting up even more healthy & delicious snacks that we know your kiddos will LOVE! Happy Cooking.
