Peanut Butter Apples On A Stick (For Kids Of All Ages)

Peanut Butter Apples are a tasty treat!

Ingredients: 

8 small/medium apples (about 3 inches diameter)**

8 wooden skewers

2 cups (12 ounces) peanut butter chips

2 tablespoons avocado oil

Optional Garnishes:

1 cup chopped peanuts 

1/2 cup chocolate chips + 1/2 teaspoon avocado oil

Method:

Line a rimmed baking sheet or pan with waxed paper or parchment paper. Set aside.

Twist the stems to remove them from the apples. Thoroughly wash and dry the apples.

Insert the pointy end of the wooden skewers into the stem end of each apple.

Melt the peanut butter chips and oil in the top of a double boiler, or in a saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth.

Working QUICKLY, dip the apples and twirl to remove excess melted peanut butter. 

If desired, roll or dip the apples in a small bowl of chopped peanuts. Place on the prepared baking pan.

If desired, heat the chocolate chips and 1/2 teaspoon of oil for 30 seconds in a microwave oven. Place the melted chocolate in a piping bag or ziploc bag with a tiny snip on one corner. Use to decorate the the apples.

Refrigerate. Wrap individually in plastic treat bags or store in an airtight container. Makes 8 servings. (Eat on the stick or cut into 4 wedges and cut away the core.)

**I used Honeycrisp apples. Fuji also work well.

Notes: Here is a quick and easy way to make delicious apple treats! These peanut butter candy coated apples are easier on the teeth than traditional candied apples and just as tasty as a caramel apple. 😀 A delicious Autumn treat and welcome gift ~ Family members and friends of all ages like these.
