Apple Nachos with Peanut Butter & Cinnamon
A fun way to introduce slicing and layering - with a healthy snack they’ll actually eat.
Equipment
- Cutting Board
- Apple Corer
Materials
- 1 whole Apples cored and halved
- 1 Tablespoon Nut butter Sunflower Seed butter for nut-free options
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Powder
- 1 handful Sprinkles, chocolate chips etc.
Instructions
- Cut apples into thin wedges. Encourage your toddler to use a child-safe knife or crinkle cutter. Talk about shapes and textures.
- Layer the apple slices on a plate. Let your toddler decide the design - there's no wrong way!
- Drizzle some nut butter (or substitute with sun butter). You could also warm it up slightly to drizzle more easily.
- Add the toppings (mini chocolate chips, sprinkles etc.). Let them sprinkle freely.
- Give them a teaspoon of cinnamon (bonus if you wish to give access to the spice jar and let them shake it on). Invite them to smell it first and describe it.
- Snack time becomes a moment of pride. Celebrate their effort before you even take a bite.
