FESTIVE APPLE DIP

Festive Apple Dip image

I came up with this layered peanut butter treat when my dad gave me a big bag of apples. The dip has been one of my favorites ever since. In addition to serving it with apples, try it with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, banana chunks or animal crackers. -Theresa Tometich, Coralville, Iowa
