This past weekend we took a day trip to an apple/pear orchard. We met up with our best buds over at the Little House Of Veggies to pick some of nature's bounty. It was so much fun! I think it is so important for us city folk to be able to show our children where their food comes from. And there is something to be said about letting loose and getting your hands a little dirty. My 3 year old took it to the extreme, though. He had dirt everywhere... even his mouth. He looked like he just walked off the Pirates of the Caribbean set. Anyway, it was a great time... dirt included!
I wanted to make something with our apples and pears that the kids could help me make. We came up with this perfect afternoon snack. It is easy, simple, and delicious!
