Apple Slices

A delicious and fun snack for kids to make!

We tried these apple slices as a kid’s activity this past season at Harvest Fest!  At Harvest Fest, we kept it simple and had white icing, some food dye, and sprinkles, but this is much more fun when kids have a few more options.  We put together a list of some spreads and toppings we thought would be absolutely scrumptious.  Feel free to add and subtract according to your kids likes and dislikes and the setting in which you will be making this snack!

Important note: these are not only for kids, our staff and volunteers loved these too!
