Sweet and Savory Apple Charcuterie

I can go overboard when it comes to pulling out what’s in the fridge and pantry and our snacking turns into light meals. And what better way to do it than with a family-friendly apple charcuterie board that can be put together in minutes?

While many people choose the cured meat and aged cheese boards, this mama is having a good time turning them into a more kid-approved smorgasbord, with their favorite snack foods and a homemade caramel dip.

Leftovers are also highly welcome because they build epic snack boxes for the classroom or office later in the week. I told you we’re serious about our snacks.

Caramel Dip for an Apple Board
