 Ingredients:

  • 1 apple
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

2.In a medium mixing bowl, combine apple, peanut butter, honey and cinnamon until well blended.
3.Spread filling on whole wheat bread, celery sticks, graham crackers or pretzels.


Helpful Hints:

Cutting sandwiches into different shapes makes lunch time fun. To make small, triangle-shape sandwiches, use a sharp knife and cut diagonally across the bread, from corner to corner and again from the opposite corners. Use cookie cutters to cut out favorite shaped sandwiches. If you don’t have cookie cutters, use a drinking glass to make round sandwiches. Press down firmly and twist gently to cut through the slices of bread and filling. Don’t throw away the excess trimmings – kids can fit the “puzzle pieces” together and eat these shapes first!

Safety Tip:

This spread should not be fed to kids under age 2. Diced apples and peanut butter could cause choking in young children. And remember, if you have leftover spread, keep it in the fridge because of the diced apple.
