This is my first time participating, thank you danasfoodforthought for posting this on my Heavenly Nutella Banana Bread recipe. If you read that post you know I love Nutella, actually from your comments it's seems like everyone loves this stuff! This recipe today is not as elaborate as the Heavenly Nutella Banana Bread recipe but it's another way I like to enjoy this chocolatey, ooey gooey spread.

Ingredients:
apples, cored* and sliced
Nutella

utensils:
knife or cookie cutter to core slices
paper towel
knife or spoon to spread Nutella

1. Slice the apple(s) width wise. Using a knife or a small cookie cuter, cut /core the apple slices. Rinse the slices to get rid of the broken apple seeds. Pat dry with a paper towel. Spread as much Nutella on the slices then sandwich them together.

Serve it with a glass of milk and you've got a relatively healthy snack. I ate my appletella sandwiches with a glass of homemade almond milk,mmmmm!

This makes a quick snack both for the kids in your home and for the kid in you. Don't forget to stop by the World Nutella Day website for information on how to join the celebrations. The roundup this year will be posted on February 7th on the Nutella Day website.

**If you are a vegetarian you may want to check the ingredients in the Nutella available in your market. It can contain Whey powder which is an animal byproduct.**

Did you participate this year? Let me know so I can stop by to see your recipes.
