Fall brings to mind some great flavours. Nobody can escape the pumpkin spice latte (you can even get a pumpkin spice steamed milk if you’re cutting out the caffeine). Bobbing for apples, turkey dinners with cranberry sauce and apple cider are some other popular Fall favourites.
Looking for some new, nourishing snacks to make for your kids? Here are some healthy, Fall snacks you can make for when it’s time for the nibbles:

1. Harvest Fruit & Vegetable Leather
Everyone needs a good fruit leather recipe. Made with sweet potatoes and apples, this is a healthy treat you can prepare and keep on hand for a long time. Most fruit leather you buy at the grocery store will have a lot of added sugar. This recipe doesn’t have any added sugar, it’s just fruit and spices; simple, healthy, delicious!

3. Movie Theater Pretzel Rods
Best when they’re fresh and warm from the oven, these chewy, salty pretzel rods are a great way to use up all that yeast you bought during the lockdown! You can also make a cheesy dip for gooey fun.

4. Apple Cinnamon Oat Muffins
What’s more fall-appropriate than apples? These delicious flourless muffins are great as part of an energizing breakfast or a satisfying snack any time of the day. That is, if they don’t all get munched while they’re still warm from the oven!

5. Cheddar-Pecan Crisps
We don’t know if you would call this a chip, cracker, or savoury cookie. Whatever you want to call it, it is yummy! You can make it all at once or freeze the dough to bake at a later date. Either way they make for a tasty snack time.

6. Warm Cinnamon Apple Chips
Crunchy yet naturally sweet, these apple chips are great for an outing at the park or a Fall hike. Just make sure you have the time; they need to cook for over two hours. The actual instructions are at the bottom of the page, after you scroll through all the tasty photos!
