apples

so, i don't consider myself to be a cooking guru, and i don't plan on becoming one.  i really like peanut butter and apples.  my issue was, it was messy.  peanut butter is hard to spread and then gets everywhere.  also it isn't a super portable snack, you have to have a container of peanut butter and clean it, or if you are like me throw it away and buy more containers.  so i came up with a method.  i call it peanut butter cored apples.  

so i usually us bigger apples, but i have the mini ones right now. so wash and dry your apple.
 the get an apple corer (the girl from work, used an carrot peeler), i got mine from bed, bath and beyond.
 core the apple
 it should look like that
 take your peanut butter (i prefer trader joes peanut butter)
 push the peanut butter where the core used to be and pack it in. 
 it should kind of look like this, i really prefer the target sized apples...
 slice it horizontally and you have a little peanut butter in every slice! also when i make these for work i don't slice them, i just eat them and it works super. also when i make them for work, i wrap them in a paper towel then stick them in a bag and they don't get all over the place.
i really love my apples like this.  sometimes if i'm feeling adventurous i put i bit of nutella in first and it is really good!

also a handy hint i read somewhere on the internet i think, use a spoon to peel a hard boiled egg.  it works wonders!!

that's all i've got!  enjoy your apples and this is the last "cooking" thing i will ever post.
