Apple Dip-Sticks

Ingredients:
1 large apple
16 bamboo skewers (6-8 inch)
1 to 1.5 cups finely chopped peanuts or pecans, toasted, or candy sprinkles
Half of a 10 ounce package of peanut butter or butterscotch morsels
1 tablespoon water
Candy-coated chocolates or mini chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:
*Cut apple in half from stem to bottom and core.
*Cut into 16 slices about 1/4 to 1/2 at thickest part and pat dry. (This is a very important step in order to allow melted morsels to adhere)
*Pierce a bamboo skewer through one end of each apple slice to resemble a lollipop.
*Set aside on paper towels.
*Place the nuts in a thin layer over a sheet of foil or waxed paper.
*Place morsels and water in a medium saucepan.
*Heat over medium-low heat until melted, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
*Reduce heat to low.
*Pat apples dry again.
*Working with 1 at a time, hold the apple slice over the pan.
*Using a spoon or heat-safe rubber spatula, drizzle the peanut butter mixture back and forth over both sides of each apple slice then coat with nuts, if desired, pressing down to allow nuts to adhere.
*Set down on waxed or parchment paper.
*Repeat with remaining apple slices.
*Rest on paper until time of serving.
*Serve by placing the skewers (apple slices up) in decorative coffee mugs or pierce small holes in a small pumpkin or squash to use as a base.

TIP: To give a face to the apple slice, press candy-coated chocolates or mini chips on apple slices for eyes, nose and mouth, if desired.
