My family and I went apple picking this past weekend on a glorious fall day and had a blast in the fields and tired ourselves out picking apples. Needless to say we now have apples coming out the wazoo! ( this is a technical terms for way too many apples ) So instead of posting an apple pie recipe, I thought I would post some more obscure ways to use your apples if you have an over abundance of them..
Apples are full of fiber. Chop them up into small pieces and put into your blender with other green veggies for a “green smoothie”. Very nutritious!
If baked apples is what you crave without all of the refined sugar. Try slicing apples and adding nutmeg and cinnamon with a drizzle of real maple syrup. Bake at 375 for 20min. This is a healthier alternative to a sugar laden desert. ( add nuts and raisins for extra flavor if you want )
Add diced apples to your salad, add a few to your rice pilaf or simply add some to your oatmeal in the morning. What a great alternative. Yum!
Make a facial mask. Grate an apple and mix in 2 teaspoons of raw honey. Smooth over face and let sit for about 10-20 min. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. The pectin and tannins in the apples will work as a great moisturizer and give your skin a fresh glow.
How about them apples!!!
Warm regards and love,
Erin
