Apple Crisp Fries

By srumbel

These are mostly fruit with a little bit of oatmeal and butter. There is nothing overly decadent in them but the combination is magical.

They are also fun. I whipped up a little cream cheese and cool whip dip to go with them. It adds an extra little sweetness and what kid does not like dip. For that matter, what adult doesn’t like a dip either. These are the type of fries you can be happy to have your little munchkins eat.
