It’s apple season! Whether you have a freshly-picked batch of Honeycrisps from the orchard or a bag of Galas from the grocery store, here are five fun ways to serve them:
1. DIY Chocolate Dipped Apples
Set up a tray with sliced apples, melted chocolate, and toppings and let kids build their own snack. Get the how-to in my post for Stemilt Growers, 3 Simple Afterschool Snack Ideas With Apples.
2. Slow Cooker Applesauce
Making applesauce in your slow cooker is SO easy–and I think it tastes like warm apple pie filling! Even better, my recipe uses no added sugar. Get the recipe for Easy Slow Cooker Applesauce.
3. Apple Cinnamon Fruit Leather
My kids love fruit leathers, but I don’t like the artificial stuff found in so many boxed kinds. This recipe uses apples, cinnamon, and just a bit of sugar. Get the recipe for Apple Cinnamon Fruit Leather.
4. Open-Faced Apple Sandwiches
I created this recipe after trying (and failing) to make those cute apple sandwiches I see all over the internet. Open-faced sandwiches are much easier and way more forgiving! Get the how-to in my blog post for Stemilt Growers, 3 Simple Afterschool Snack Ideas With Apples.
5. Apple Cheddar Wafflewich
Apples and cheese are such a great combo, and making this sandwich in the waffle iron is a fun twist your kids will love. Get the recipe in my blog post for Stemilt Growers, 3 Simple Afterschool Snack Ideas With Apples.

Apples have always been a common site in our house! It’s my son’s favorite fruit and we all eat them. Now our apple don’t have to be just simple and plain. I’m sure my son will love the chocolate-dipped apples after school, while I’ll try the apple cheddar wafflewich! 🙂

I miss Honeycrisp when they are out of season but do really love gala apples too. I”ll need to try the apple cinnamon fruit leather strips. They look really yummy.
