- Carefully press the strawberry, kiwi and peach slices against the sides and bottom of each mold. Add blueberries and raspberries to fill any gaps as you go.
- Use a popsicle stick to press the fruit against the sides of the mold. (So you’ll be able to see it better when the juice freezes.)
- Add as much fruit as you can fit into the mold, continuing to press it against the sides.
- Fill the molds with apple juice, leaving about 1/4″ of space at the top for the juice to expand when it freezes.
- Insert a popsicle stick in the middle of each popsicle, between the 2 layers of fruit.
- Freeze the popsicles overnight (or a minimum of 4 to 6 hours).
