We adapted these from Martha Stewart's Food magazine. Our version is different with its slightly sweet frosting and mini chocolate chip "seeds" in the center. These are a favorite with the younger set, as they love to count the seeds and compare with their friends. If you have a peanut butter allergy, try strawberry cream cheese frosting by adding pureed strawberries, or use Sun butter as an alternative.
Ingredients
1 cup sifted Powdered sugar- 1 cup Reduced Fat cream cheese
- 9 medium (3" dia) Apple, sliced horizontally
- 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 3 tablespoons Mini Chocolate Chips
Preparation
Slice the apples in half, horizontally to show the "star" in the center of the apple. Using a melon baller, remove the seeds. Also, remove the stem on the other side. Put 3-7 mini chocolate chip "seeds" in each apple.
Mix the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and confectioner's sugar until smooth. Place in a pastry bag with a star tip and pipe small stars or swirls onto the apple, making sure to seal in the seeds really well. Place in cupcake liners.
These are perfect for a classroom snack and the kids get really excited about "cupcakes" on a normal day.

(4 stars) LOVE these! My daughter's classroom is peanut-free so I just use soy butter. Works GREAT!

(5 stars) My kids think these are really great. Just make sure to find a small enough apple and you can put it in a cupcake holder (so it doesn't get icky in a regular container).
