Healthy Spiced Apple Dip for Toddler + Kids
It’s actually pretty surprising how much kids of all ages love this super simple Spiced Apple Dip.
The first time I made this apple dip was for a playdate with some friends. I didn’t have much in my fridge at the time, but I didn’t want to show up empty handed. So I whipped up this easy dip with the last spoonfuls of yogurt from an old container and a few spices before tossing it into a packable snack container along with some sliced apples.
You guys.. the kids (ages 2-7) devoured this dip! It kinda turned into all-out kid madness! I wish I was kidding when I say there might have even been some elbows thrown to get the last drop of this dip, and there was definitely some whining after the dip was gone – which was definitely not what I had intended!
Lesson learned – always bring a double batch of this dip to any playdates!

Ingredients
This delicious apple dip is made with 4 simple wholesome ingredients.
- Yogurt: a great creamy base that is full of protein and probiotics for gut health! I would recommend using a Greek style of yogurt so the dip stays nice and thick, but any yogurt your family prefers will work. You can also use a thick diary-free yogurt in this recipe. Whatever yogurt you use, I would use a plain version as we are going to add in a little sweetener into the yogurt.
- Maple Syrup: to give this dip a little sweetness, we are going to add in a little maple syrup, which compliments the spices in the best way possible.
- Cinnamon: it might seem like a lot of cinnamon, but we are going to add in a full teaspoon into this recipe. Trust me, it’s just perfect!
- Cloves: to fully round out the sweet and savory of this dip, a pinch of cloves is called for.
How to Make this Apple Dip
- Add Ingredients: add all the ingredients into a small bowl (cereal bowl would work here).
- Mix: with a spoon, mix everything together until fully combined and the yogurt is super smooth.
- Serve: spoon into a serving bowl (or use the bowl you mixed it in) and then sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
