Couple things that may help:
1. Dip your apples and banana slices in pineapple juice or 7-up so they don't brown on you.
2. To add something different, how about some granola? I have even used the crunchy Nature Valley granola bars and just beat them up with the meat tenderizer!
3. You could also add a layer of vanilla pudding if you think it's going to be too dry.
