Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 sweet red apples
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
4 lettuce leaves (optional)
1/4 cup raisins (or craisins)
1/4 cup Cheerios toasted oat cereal (optional)
1 tablespoon peanut butter (or almond butter)
8 thin pretzel sticks

Steps:

  • Slice apples in half from top to bottom and scoop out the cores using a knife or a melon baller. If you have an apple corer, core them first, then slice. Brush or dip cut side of apples in lemon juice mixed with the water to keep from browning.Place each apple half flat side down on lettuce leaves(if using), then place on a small plate. The lettuce leaves help keep little fingers off the peanut butter.
  • Dab peanut butter(or almond butter) on to the back of the 'lady bug', then stick raisins(or craisins) onto the dabs for spots. If using cheerios, place raisins inside of cheerios and stick on peanut butter dabs.
  • Use this method to make eyes too. Stick one end of each pretzel stick into a raisin, then press the other end into the apples to make antennae.
  • Kids will have fun playing with their food, then eating it!

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use crisp, firm apples that hold their shape well, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • Make sure the caramel is the right consistency: The caramel should be thick and gooey, but not too hard or too runny. If it's too hard, it will be difficult to work with and will not adhere to the apples. If it's too runny, it will be messy and will not hold its shape.
  • Work quickly: The caramel hardens quickly, so you need to work quickly to assemble the treats before the caramel sets.
  • Be careful when inserting the toothpicks: Be careful not to push the toothpicks all the way through the apples, as this will make them difficult to eat. Just insert them about halfway through.
  • Let the treats cool completely before serving: This will help the caramel to set and harden completely.

Conclusion:

These apple ladybug treats are a fun and easy snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with fresh apples, caramel, and chocolate chips, and they are sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make these treats at home. So next time you are looking for a fun and festive snack, give these apple ladybug treats a try!
