In the sentence: When the child reached for his great grandmother's candy dish, he remembered his mother's instructions, that he should only choose one piece.

The appositive is ‘his great grandmother's candy dish’

Appositive is an arrangement of words in which a noun or noun phrase is followed by another noun that refers the same thing.

The correct answer should be "his mother's instructions"

It should, however, be separated with commas. In any case, "he (his mother's instructions) that he should only choose one piece. It is an appositive that further describes what he remembered.
