Hi Friends,

I’m reaching out with a bonus today, inspired by the most sweet, delectable apple I had the pleasure of eating this morning. I need more of this in my life thought I, and I want the same for you dear readers!  With that…

12 Ways to Eat More Apple this Fall

1. Bake chopped apple with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a splash of maple for breakfast, a snack, or dessert
2. Make applesauce by cooking down in a covered pot with water, raw apple cider vinegar, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Bonus tip: use applesauce in place of, or in addition to gravy with your Thanksgiving turkey.
3. Dice and toss in salads for crunch
4. Slice and wrap them up with your favorite sandwich fixings in a collard green leaf or cabbage leaf
5. Caramelize an onion; in the same pan, sauté sliced apple for a sweet side dish
6. Make a salsa with jalapeno, onion, cilantro, ginger, and a squeeze of lime
7. Grill them
8. Roast chopped apple with chopped cauliflower and a splash of olive oil
9. Make apple chips by slicing into ¼ inch rings, sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 250° F for 50 minutes; flip and bake for another 50 minutes.
10. Add them to your omelet with cheddar cheese, mushrooms, and fresh thyme
11. Slice thick horizontal slices and spread with your favorite nut butter for an apple “sandwich”
12. Toss thickly sliced apple in a roasting pan with pork tenderloin and sprinkle with sliced onion, fresh rosemary, sage, and thyme. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and roast.

An apple a day may or may not keep the doctor away, but it’s sure to keep a smile on your face. Enjoy.
