Peanut Butter Snack:


1/2   Cup    Peanut Butter, peanuts only
1/2   Cup    Applesauce, unsweetened
1      Tbs.    Roasted Peanuts
1      Tbs.    Raisins

4                 Apples

Place peanut butter and applesauce into food processor.

Puree both ingredients together.

Remove from processor and place in a bowl.

Mix in nuts and raisins.

Let mixture chill for a while in the fridge [if you can]

Scoop it into a bowl and garnish with apples.

Note: If you don't want to drag out the food processor, this recipe can be made in a bowl by hand, it just takes longer.
New Taste Thinking:

Half the fat and more flavor??? This is a great one for kids and adults.
When I was a kid I loved to spread peanut butter on an apple. Today I have figured out that I can cut the peanut butter in half with the addition of applesauce.
I toss in a few peanuts and raisins for texture and dip my apple slices!
The mixture is only good for a day or two as it starts to separate.
This has to do with the emulsion of peanut butter and the liquid in the applesauce, so only make as much as you are going to eat.
