  • 1/2 Tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp. smooth peanut butter
  • 1 large Granny Smith apple, quartered lengthwise and cored

Directions:

Prepare Oats: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in sugar and oats. Cook, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes or until oats begin to brown. Stir in vanilla. Remove from heat and cool.
Prepare Peanut Butter:
In a microwave-safe dish, heat peanut butter for about 10 seconds, or until pourable.
Assemble: Insert Popsicle stick in the center of the skin side of each apple quarter.



 

Dip cut sides of each apple quarter into the warm peanut butter, allowing excess to drain off. Then dip coated sides of each apple quarter into the oat mixture. Place on a parchment paper-lined pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until peanut butter is set.
