The ultimate when it comes to horse treats! I couldn't resist, I even had to try it.
Stuffed Molasses Apples
Ingredients:
2 Apples
1 Cup Bran
1 Carrot, Shredded
3/4 Cups Molasses
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Sweet Feed
2 Sprigs of Parsley or Green Carrot Top (We substituted with Alfalfa Blooms)
2 Seedless Green Grapes
Confectionery Sugar
Core two apples and dig out as much of the center as you can, as you would a pumpkin at Halloween. Set this aside.
Mix shredded carrot with bran, molasses, brown sugar and sweet feed in a large bowl. Add more molasses or bran to give mixture a stiff consistency. Scoop mixture out of the bowl and press into cored applies. Press fairly tightly.
To garnish: Drip a small amount of molasses over the top so it runs down sides of the apple. Add a sprig of parsley or carrot greens, top with a green seedless grape, sprinkle with confectionery sugar and serve immediately! Serve in a feed bucket as this is a gooey treat. Serves two horses.
Or serve: After you've cored apple, slice in hald and press ingredients into each half, garnish as in the whole apple recipe and serve four horses.
Super suggestion: Terrific for hiding worming medication or other veterinarian prescribed medicines.

Looks delicious! I think I'll try to make them myself and give them to the horses when I go trail riding this weekend

They are fun to make and feed to your horse! Just be aware the recipe can get messy :)

That sound like a fun recipe for the kids to make. I will have to remember this for Christmas. My kids always want to give the animals gifts. I think this would be perfect.

I personally don't have any recipies that need to be stored in the fridge or freezer. I recommend checking out 'The Original Book of Horse Treats' by June V. Evers. There are some great recipies in there!
