Combine the yogurt, cinnamon and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Core and slice apple to dip into mixture. Makes 1 serving.

8 pretzel sticks

2 raisins

1 Tbsp Peanut Butter

Spread most of the peanut butter on one cracker, reserving a small amount for the raisin eyes. Press the 8 pretzel sticks into the peanut butter, 4 on each side, to make the spider legs. Top with the second cracker. Put two dots of peanut butter on the top cracker and add raisins for eyes.
