Is it starting to feel like fall where you live? Cooler weather, trees starting to turn? In Pennsylvania fall means apples-I‘m going to drive out to one of our orchards tomorrow and pick up some honey crisps for eating and a bag of mixed seconds for applesauce. Do you have a healthy apple or pumpkin recipe you make this time of year? Or an item in stores that’s only available in the fall? I see Sabra has a pumpkin hummus I thought I might try. If you have a favorite, please share.
I’ll share two easy ones. I make applesauce in a crockpot-peel, core and slice about a dozen apples-a mix of sweet and tart. Add a splash of apple cider and cook on low about 4-5 hours. I use my potato masher to smush them up, but keeping it chunky. Serve warm with a half teaspoon of cinnamon sugar (7 calories).
