These yummy applesauce bites are excellent for hot summer days when you want something cool and refreshing to snack on. They’re a nutritious alternative to ice cream or popsicles, and yet your kids will think they are eating dessert! We are so sneaky.
This is how you turn applesauce into delicious finger food!
Supplies Needed
- A baking sheet (make sure it will fit in your freezer)
- parchment paper
- applesauce (I used the squeeze packs but you can also place apple sauce in a plastic sandwich bag and cut a hole in one corner to create a piping bag)
How To Make Frozen Applesauce Bites
- Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, then squeeze small dollops of applesauce onto the paper, leaving a little space between each one.
- Once you’ve filled the baking sheet, pop it into the freezer and let it freeze for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Once frozen, you can remove the bites from the baking sheet and transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag.
You may want to go ahead and load up two baking sheets because this yummy snack will go FAST! I find myself snacking on them throughout the day. They are very tempting every time I open up my freezer.
In addition to being a healthy and easy snack option, these frozen applesauce bites are also a great way to introduce young children to new flavors and textures. Even babies can enjoy them! Just be sure to make the size of the bites appropriate to your child’s age.
