Homemade apple juice popsicles - A childhood treat I still love

Girl with popsicleAs I write this post, I am sucking on a plastic stick. It's all that remains of the apple juice popsicle that I made when I started to think about writing this post. Apple juice pops were one of my favorite childhood summer treats. Sometimes years go by when I forget about them, but then on days like today, I dig out my old popsicle molds, buy some apple juice and get to freezing.

When I eat my apple juice pops, I always suck all the juice out of them first. Then, I'm left with just a pop of ice only - that is sad. I eat the ice and then, like now, all that remains is the stick.

I've considered trying a more adult version of this treat, pineapple-chile piletas (featured on Coconut and Lime), but plain, old apple does the taste and nostalgic trick for me.

I just posted a reply to "Fruit tops cookies, ice cream as snack for small set" and was thinking of my son's new favorite snack: Apple juice popsicles. We had bought a popsicle mold awhile back and never got around to using it. I finally decided that it had to get used so I made a batch of 4 popsicles. My son had his first popsicle and immediately at it the way you did. First, he sucked all the juice out, Then he slowly worked his way through the ice (pausing occasionally when he could suck more juice out) until only the stick was left.

As for variations, I'm thinking of sticking some yogurt into the mold to make yogurt pops. Anyone have any luck with this?
