I relish the newness of food when it is in season.
We grow tired of apples in the spring. They store so well they are one of the only fruits we always have in late winter and spring. In early summer we rarely eat them.
And then the first apples of the season are so juicy and delicious. My boys eat the peels, devour them, and they love choosing a variety from the bowl on the table.
Apple dip: a variation from my mother
My mom adds raisins. We do to sometimes, but the less chewy variation goes over better with the little ones.
1/4 cup smooth organic peanut butter
1/4 cup applesauce
2 tablespoons honey
Mix well. Place a dollop in center of dish. Press each apple slice ( flower petal) into dip.
Devour.
