A fun and festive fruit tray shaped like a pumpkin patch, served with a creamy honey yogurt dip. Perfect for fall gatherings, Halloween parties, or a healthy snack that kids love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 clementines or mandarin oranges, peeled and separated into segments
  • 1 cup green grapes
  • 2 medium apples (green or red), sliced thin
  • 1–2 pears, sliced
  • A handful of baby carrots, cut into small sticks
  • 2–3 celery stalks, cut into 3-inch pieces
  • Pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter (optional)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all fruit and vegetables thoroughly.
  2. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Peel clementines and separate into segments.
  4. Core and slice apples and pears into thin wedges. Optionally, use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to cut apple slices.
  5. Cut baby carrots in half lengthwise. Slice celery into 3-inch pieces, then cut into thin strips.
  6. On a large round platter, arrange clementine segments in small clusters to resemble pumpkins. Place a small piece of green grape or carrot stick on top of each cluster as a stem.
  7. Use celery sticks to create a border around the platter like a fence. Arrange carrot sticks between pumpkin clusters.
  8. Scatter green grapes around to look like vines or leaves.
  9. Fill empty spaces with apple and pear slices.
  10. Place the bowl of honey yogurt dip in the center or off to one side. Add fresh mint leaves for garnish if desired.

Notes

Keep fruit dry to prevent sliding. Use a dark platter for contrast. Dip can be made a day ahead. Toss apple and pear slices in lemon juice to prevent browning. Let kids help arrange for fun.
