Mini Apples

I needed a snack idea to take to Ashlyn's Girl Scouts meeting.

I didn't want the ever famous brownies or cookies.

I wanted something that was semi-healthy.

So I found this recipe for mini apples...

1. I washed Granny Smith apples.

(I used 7 apples to make 60 mini apples)

2. I unwrapped the carmel candies.

3. I wanted to add some color so I used some sprinkles I had on hand.

4. I used these plastic sticks I found at the grocery store for the handles.

(The recipe called for lollipop sticks.)

5. I used a melon baller, until it broke and I had to use my cookie scoop.
I got 10 to 12 mini apples per apple, depending on the size.

6. I stuck the plastic sticks into the skin side of the mini apples.

7. I melted semi-sweet chocolate chips and carmel candies for dipping.

8. I dipped the bottom into the sprinkles to add some fun color.

9. Then I placed then into small muffin papers.

They were YUMMY!

I learned the hard way that they should be served right away.

I put them in a container and set them on the counter.

When it was time to leave for Girl Scouts the carmel had melted into liquid.

I took the chocolate ones and they were a hit!
