Looking for a healthy snack for your little ones? This is so quick and easy to do and the kids can even help. This can be adjusted to anyone's tastes. Another bonus is it can be nut free and can be adapted to suit many dietary restrictions. This is both gluten free and vegan. We like to use currants as they seem to fit better on the size of our apples. Enjoy!

1 Apple
2 Tbsp. Nut or seed butter
1 Tbsp. Unsweetened dried coconut
3 Tbsp. Currants
Sprinkle of cinnamon

Other topping suggestions-

• Chia seeds
• Hemp seeds
• Dried raisins (look for those without added sugar)
• Dried cranberries (look for those without added sugar)
• Sprinkle of nutmeg
• Chopped nuts

1. Cut Apple crosswise.
2. Using a small knife cut out the core of the apple.
3. Spread nut or seed butter on apple.
4. Add toppings as desired.
