]]> From pie at Thanksgiving to cookies at Christmas, the holidays are undoubtedly a season of indulgence. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with using food for celebration, too much sugar can take a toll on our health over time, and come January, we typically feel like we need a bit of a reset. Fortunately, eating healthy doesn’t have to mean giving up treats entirely. Baked apples are a great way to enjoy something sweet without causing a major blood sugar spike in the process. Here’s how we make them.

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium-sized apples, we recommend Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons raisins
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Optional: Greek yogurt for serving

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Wash and core the apples. You can leave the skin on for added nutrition and texture, or peel them if you prefer.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, oats, walnuts, raisins, and spices.
  4. Place the cored apples in a baking dish. Spoon the filling mixture into the center of each apple and press down gently to ensure it’s tightly packed.
  5. Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish. This will help to create steam and keep the apples from drying out.
  6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the apples are tender. Carefully pierce one of the apples with a fork to check for doneness.
  7. Once baked, remove the apples from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. 
  8. Serve warm, or top each apple with a dollop of yogurt as a low-sugar alternative to vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

]]> If you know us, you know that we’re suckers for a seasonal recipe, especially when that recipe is for some type of dessert. Fall is the absolute best time of year for baking with apples, and as we venture further into the season, we’ve been having a lot of fun combining ours with caramel. As it turns out, we’re not alone in our endeavors, and many popular food bloggers have taken inspiration from this classic combination to create their own indulgent treats. Here are a few recipes we’re especially enjoying:

Vegan Caramel Apple Pie

As much as we love a good old-fashioned apple pie, there’s something about apples and caramel that’s even more delicious. You can be sure that this recipe by Make it Dairy Free will be on our Thanksgiving table—served warm with some vegan vanilla ice cream, of course.

Caramel Apple Crumble Copycat Cookies

Crumble Bakery makes some of the best cookies around, and their seasonal flavors are no exception. While we’d love it if their caramel apple cookies were available all the time, their rotating menu means it’s not always possible to find them in-store. Fortunately, this recipe by Lifestyle of a Foodie is a fantastic back-up option when the craving strikes. They’re packed with fresh green apples and coated in a layer of decadent cream cheese frosting.

Frosted Caramel Apple Blondies

Rich, fudgy blondies get a seasonal makeover with this recipe by Butternut Bakery. Topped with cinnamon apples and a homemade caramel frosting, they’re the perfect treat when you’re looking for something gooey and indulgent. They’re also gluten-free and easy to make vegan with a few simple swaps.

]]> There are plenty of ways to start eating healthily, but unfortunately, so many of us struggle with finding what works best for us. Even if there are many routes to go, not every path is right for everyone. It’s quite common to choose the wrong one before inevitably throwing in the towel. When it comes to eating sugar, there are so many alternatives to eat instead. If you’ve struggled with finding the perfect alternative, here’s why fruit may be the perfect match.

Natural Sugars

There are so many natural sugars in fruit, so when you eat it it truly does taste sweeter than ever. Not only is it sweet, but it’s also sweet in a way that’s organic and wholesome. Ultimately, eating something that’s naturally sweet instead of artificially sweet will make you feel better, physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Plenty of Variety

The best part? There are countless options out there. Not a fan of oranges? Try a mango! Not into that either? How about a nectarine or a peach? There are so many different fruits out there, and each one is more delicious than the last. So take a stroll through the produce aisle and find a fruit that’s perfect for you!

Cute Little Apple Hand Pies

Brown Butter Apple Cake

Bundt cakes are somewhat of Manila’s specialty, and this one will win you over with the combo of brown butter, apples, and bourbon butterscotch sauce.

Easily made within 10 minutes, caramelized apples are an ideal dessert to prepare if you’re short on time. What’s more, you can add it to an ice cream or custard for added flavor.

]]> When the leaves turn brown and the air turns crisp, there are few desserts that hit the spot more than a good old fashioned apple pie. Whether for dessert at Thanksgiving or just because, it’s a great way to enjoy something warm and indulgent while making use of seasonal produce. While you can certainly go with a store-bought pie, baking from scratch allows for more control over the ingredients, with the bonus of making your kitchen smell like a bakery. Read on for some tips to take your apple pie game to the next level.

Choose the Right Apples

To create a pie with a balanced flavor profile, opt for a blend of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn. Sweeter varieties will give your pie a dessert-like feel and enhance the flavors of the sugar and spices, while tart apples will keep things light by serving as a bold, zingy contrast. Experiment with different combinations until you find one that you love. 

Precook Your Apples

The key to a perfect apple pie lies in the texture of the filling. Precooking your apples before adding them to your crust will give them a tender, melt-in-your-mouth consistency and help to prevent a soggy bottom crust. Just slice and sauté in a pan with some butter, sugar, and spices until they begin to soften and release their juices.

Elevate the Flavors

Choosing the right apples is only the first step in making your apple pie filling. Once you’ve decided which varieties to use, play around with adding other ingredients such as citrus zest, cinnamon, or even a little bourbon to enhance the flavor and give your pie an unforgettable taste.

]]> No dish is complete without some extra garlic. We can’t help it—we add garlic to our butter, our stir fries, our sauces—you name it. There’s something about the flavor of garlic that makes things extra delicious. The only downside of garlic is the unfortunate smell it leaves in our mouths. In the comfort of our own homes, we don’t mind it too much. In the presence of others, though, it can be overwhelming—so how do you get rid of it?

Lemon Juice

Drinking a little bit of lemon juice is the perfect solution to get rid of garlic breath. Lemon juice has acid, which neutralizes the stinky enzyme that garlic produces and leaves behind in our mouths. Eat a lemon slice and enjoy odorless breath.

Green Tea

This one might be a bit easier to do. All you need to do is drink some green tea to reap the benefits of the polyphenols, or the antioxidants that help to cover up the chemicals in garlic that cause the odor.

Raw Apples

Apples carry an enzyme that helps to cover up bad smelling breath. It’s the same enzyme that turns a slice of apple brown if you leave it out for some time, but it turns out that this makes for a great natural deodorant for the smell of garlic.

Apples are an excellent way to satisfy your sweet cravings in a positive way, and these three varieties are some of the sweetest and juiciest you’ll find.

Pink Lady

First up is the Pink Lady apple, which is known for its sweet and tangy flavor and crisp, juicy texture. With its beautiful pinkish-red skin, the Pink Lady apple is also a visually appealing addition to any fruit basket.

Fuji

Next on the list is the Fuji apple, which originated in Japan but is now grown in many parts of the world. The Fuji apple is a cross between the Red Delicious and Ralls Janet apples, and it has a dense, crunchy texture and a sweet, slightly tart flavor. This apple is perfect for snacking, but it also holds up well when baked, making it a versatile ingredient in the kitchen.

Gala

Finally, we have the Gala apple, which is a popular variety worldwide. With its thin skin and juicy, sweet flesh, the Gala apple is a refreshing snack that is easy to eat on the go. It’s also a good source of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making it a healthy choice for any time of day.

]]> For whatever reason, it sometimes feels like the “healthiest” way to eat fruits and vegetables is raw. Maybe because it seems more natural, our brains trick us to believe that they have more vitamins or minerals in this form. Whereas this might be true for some fruits and vegetables, sometimes cooking them actually benefits your health more. Whether it’s because cooking makes the food easier to digest, or because cooking it brings out other properties, there are many reasons to cook your fruits and vegetables.

A perfect example of this is apples! Yes, cooking your apples makes them taste better, that we know! But cooking them—specifically, stewing them—actually makes them even better for your health. Stewed apples have been found to be amazing for your gut health. They contain important prebiotics, which help the healthy bacteria in your gut. They also have lots of fiber, which helps with digestion processes. 

The process of stewing involves heating apples with water over medium heat for about 5 minutes until they are soft. Many people like to add cinnamon too, as it brings a delicious flavor to the apples. You can eat these on their own, or add them to your oatmeal or on top of pancakes!

Sweeter varieties will give your pie a dessert-like feel and enhance the flavors of the sugar and spices, while tart apples will keep things light by serving as a bold, zingy contrast. Experiment with different combinations until you find one that you love. 

Precook Your Apples

The key to a perfect apple pie lies in the texture of the filling. Precooking your apples before adding them to your crust will give them a tender, melt-in-your-mouth consistency and help to prevent a soggy bottom crust. Just slice and sauté in a pan with some butter, sugar, and spices until they begin to soften and release their juices.

Elevate the Flavors

Choosing the right apples is only the first step in making your apple pie filling. Once you’ve decided which varieties to use, play around with adding other ingredients such as citrus zest, cinnamon, or even a little bourbon to enhance the flavor and give your pie an unforgettable taste.

]]> No dish is complete without some extra garlic. We can’t help it—we add garlic to our butter, our stir fries, our sauces—you name it. There’s something about the flavor of garlic that makes things extra delicious. The only downside of garlic is the unfortunate smell it leaves in our mouths. In the comfort of our own homes, we don’t mind it too much. In the presence of others, though, it can be overwhelming—so how do you get rid of it?

Lemon Juice

Drinking a little bit of lemon juice is the perfect solution to get rid of garlic breath. Lemon juice has acid, which neutralizes the stinky enzyme that garlic produces and leaves behind in our mouths. Eat a lemon slice and enjoy odorless breath.

Green Tea

This one might be a bit easier to do. All you need to do is drink some green tea to reap the benefits of the polyphenols, or the antioxidants that help to cover up the chemicals in garlic that cause the odor.

Raw Apples

Apples carry an enzyme that helps to cover up bad smelling breath. It’s the same enzyme that turns a slice of apple brown if you leave it out for some time, but it turns out that this makes for a great natural deodorant for the smell of garlic.

]]> For whatever reason, it sometimes feels like the “healthiest” way to eat fruits and vegetables is raw. Maybe because it seems more natural, our brains trick us to believe that they have more vitamins or minerals in this form. Whereas this might be true for some fruits and vegetables, sometimes cooking them actually benefits your health more. Whether it’s because cooking makes the food easier to digest, or because cooking it brings out other properties, there are many reasons to cook your fruits and vegetables.

A perfect example of this is apples! Yes, cooking your apples makes them taste better, that we know! But cooking them—specifically, stewing them—actually makes them even better for your health. Stewed apples have been found to be amazing for your gut health. They contain important prebiotics, which help the healthy bacteria in your gut. They also have lots of fiber, which helps with digestion processes. 

The process of stewing involves heating apples with water over medium heat for about 5 minutes until they are soft. Many people like to add cinnamon too, as it brings a delicious flavor to the apples. You can eat these on their own, or add them to your oatmeal or on top of pancakes!
