Horse Treat Recipes
Stuffed Molasses Apples
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 or 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 half and press ingredients into each half, garnish as in the whole apple recipe and serve four horses.Recipe is from “The Original Book of Horse Treats” by June V. Evers
