]]> Restaurant.org predicts that the year 2015 will bring an overhaul to children’s menus as parents attempt to feed their kids healthier items while dining out.  Expect to see baked chicken rather than fried, and more vegetable or fruit options to replace fries and overly sweet desserts.  Here’s a recipe for Chocolate-Granola Apple Wedges.  We think it will bring some smiles to the faces of finicky young diners.  Think it will make your menu?

2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/3 cup low-fat granola without raisins
1 large Braeburn apple, cut into 16 wedges

Place chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl.  Microwave on HIGH one minute, stirring every fifteen seconds until chocolate melts.

Place granola in a shallow dish.  Dip apple wedges, skin side up, in chocolate.  Allow excess chocolate to drip back into bowl.  Dredge wedges in granola.  Place wedges, chocolate side up, on a large plate.  Refrigerate five minutes or until set.
