The Easiest Ever Apple Slice! Rainy Day Cooking

I love cooking with my kids, but sometimes finding time in the day to bake can be a real challenge! This is a favourite recipe of mine, given to me by Sharon, my gorgeous chef at Preschool. It is a favourite at parent functions with adults and children and I always find myself up to my 3rd piece before I have even realised I should be heading for the fruit platter.

Kids love it and it is a healthier option than resorting to store bought snack bars and sweets. Best thing of all, it is super easy to make!

I always let my children help - kids as young as 2 years old can help measure, pour, mix and lick bowls and beaters!
