Brown Sugar Cinnamon Fruit Dip

So as we continue on with Apple week, I had to make something my picky child would eat. Remembering how I was at her age, I cut her a little slack on forcing her to eat all the fruits and veggies that everyone else in the house is willing to eat. I'm hopeful, that like me, she will grow out of it, at least partially.
When it comes to dips, vegetables usually get all the fun. Carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, they're sturdy. They can take the dunk into a thick dip and not break off, bend-dropping all the dip back into the bowl, Big enough to hold onto without your fingertips getting a little dipped too.

Fruits are delicate and sweet. Hard to dip. And lets face it, Fruit really doesn't need dip. Fresh, full of flavor, sweet or tart. Juicy. Apples can stand alone, and they do it well. But apples also represent all fruit in the dipping world. They're strong, they're holdable and they go well with everything. Sweet or savory, hot or cold dips, Apples can take it and hold their own.
