An Apple A Day

Apples are at an awesome stock up price at Publix through Tuesday October 30th. Organic Gala and Red Delicious apples are only 1.89 per pound! What to do with a plethora of this fibrous cancer fighting super fruit? Let me give you some simple ideas...

Applesauce: peel, chop, sprinkle with cinnamon & bake. Then  mash with fork or puree. Great for babies, freezer pops, or alongside grilled pork tenderloin

Apple Chips: Preheat oven to 350. Slice unpeeled apples super thin and place on greased baking sheet. Put in oven and turn down to 250. Bake about an hour, turning every 20 minutes until dried. 

Apple Stamps: Grab your kiddos, some paint and paper for this fun artsy craft. Lay the apple on it's side cutting off the top half of the apple, revealing a beautiful star seeded shape in the middle. Start stamping!

Apple Turkey: Doubling as a craft and a snack, you will need your children, some toothpicks, pretzel sticks, raisins and marshmallows. Lay the apple on it's side and begin poking pretzels and raisin or marshmallow adorned toothpicks along the side of the apple to resemble a yummy plume of turkey feathers. 

Last but not least, sink your teeth into the juicy red goodness and enjoy!
