An Apple A Day

Snacks on the weekend get a little more elaborate sometimes. I have a little more time to do more than plunk down a few graham crackers to go with some applesauce or a few cheese slices to go with crackers. This snack is fast and easy. It's healthier than some snacks and not as healthy as others, so I reserve it for special days and just serve it up a couple times a month or so.

Making these chocolate dipped apple slices couldn't be easier. Simple cut your apply into pieces, remove the core and seeds then dip into chocolate. If you want to take it one step farther, you can dip the wet chocolate into chopped nuts, coconut, granola, crushed pretzels or chopped peanuts. Let them completely set up before eating to avoid messes.

We did 1/2 in chopped pecans and 1/2 chopped pretzels this time around and I have to say those pretzel ones are really, really good. Maybe too good if you know what I mean ;) Use a nice eating apple for these, we prefer a pink lady when I can get my hands on them.

Make snack time a little special and make some chocolate dipped apple slices next time you need a little something to get you through the day!
