Honor the Five Elements with this Apple Board!

Apples are a magical fruit! Did you know that in Irish tradition, it’s believed that the apple guarantees immortality? They believed this because when cut in half, crossways, a five-pointed star, also known as the pentagram, is revealed! The pentagram symbolizes the 'five stations of life from birth to death and rebirth,’ but also, represents the five elements of Spirit (the top point), Fire, Earth, Air and Water. When you eat an apple, you are balancing all of these elements within yourself!

This delicious apple board, not only serves as an eye catching snack display, but also expresses gratitude and appreciation for the blessings in our life. It combines three different apple flavors, I chose Envy, Granny Smith and Honey Crisp varieties that perfectly pair with sweet, salty and crunchy additions like peanut butter and honey roasted peanuts!

It’s easy to assemble, full of health benefits and obviously tasty (unless you’e not a fan of apples, sorry!) - what more could you want? It’s perfect for get togethers, or a cozy night in.

For extra benefits, say something that you’re grateful for, before you take a bite!
