Lunch Idea- Apples for Lunch

Lunch Idea- Apples for Lunch
Last Wednesday was Johnny Appleseed’s birthday and I made JDaniel an apples lunch. It was filled with all kinds of foods made of apples or made to look like apples.
He had a ham and Colby Jack cheese sandwich on the inside of the bread. The outside of the bread had a thin layer of apple butter and I stenciled an apple on the apple butter using cinnamon. JDaniel put the bottom piece of the bread on top and moved the ham and cheese in between them after I took this picture. He said it made more sense. He was right. I just wanted the apple stencil on the outside for the picture.  I made one of myself and really enjoyed the sweet ham and apple butter with the cheese.

Apples for Lunch Bento

The top left section of his Bento box contains grape tomatoes. I am not sure that there are apple tomatoes so I went with a tomato that would fit in the box and was red. I thought they would look pretty in the box. I took an apple shaped piece of apple and placed it in with the tomatoes to make that section officially contain an apple product. When you are creating a themed lunch for a four year old, they like it to be offical.

The top right section of the his apples for lunch Bento box contains apple shaped fruits of all kinds. There are apple shaped apples, apple shaped pears, and apple shaped cantaloupe. I decided the meal needed different fruit flavors. JDaniel has been asking for cantaloupe a lot lately. It worked well wit the tartness of the apples.
We got an apple shaped drink container when we visited Sky Top Orchards a few weeks ago. Then the container was filled with apple juice. This time the container was filled with apple cider. JDaniel announced that apple cider tastes much better than apple juice.

What do you think? Apple juice or apple cider.

  3. That sounds different, apple butter with ham and cheese. It does sound good though, a sweet and salty taste.

  13. Truly awesome! My daughter just visited a farm called AppleLand today with her class. Unfortunately, we don’t have any local apples this fall. It was too warm in March and the trees came into blossom, and then there was frost in April 🙁

  14. Love this. I love how organized it looks. I would never have thought of it. Apple cider is my vote.

  15. I am loving the little apple cheese shapes. Those would make me smile so big!

  19. I am definitely a fresh cider girl! Fresh cold cider with a warm cinnamon sugar donut screams fall to me.

  21. So cute! I wish I was that creative but I just can’t think that far ahead to be prepared in time!
