Yummy & Sweet Snack

I am a huge snacker during work. And I heard of the
idea of cutting up apples and to sprinkle them with cinnamon.
It's an apple pie without all the "naughty" stuff.

As a kid, I used to eat apples dipped in honey. It was pretty tasty, but not as low calorie as the cinnamon, I'm sure.

I read somewhere that if you cut your apples at home before work that you can rubber band the pieces back together so it looks like a whole apple and that will keep if from turning brown as fast.

Really??? I may try this... I love to use my apple slicer at home when I pack my lunch, but the lemon juice I put on it is a little tart sometimes.

Whatever keeps me from robbing the vending machine of it's Peanut M&Ms keeps me happy.
Amen to Apples!!

My kids love cinnamon apples. Growing up I always had ice cream as a snack...sherbert to be exact. I'm happy to give my kids a healthier option.

I do something similar, my son loves apples in his lunch so I cut the apple in half, use a melon baller to scoop out the center (he hates to bite anywhere near the core) put the two halves back together and put into a sandwich bag. It works cause if it turned brown, he wouldn't eat it

That's an excellent idea with the melon ball tool. Do you rubberband the apple together as the other post said?

Nope, just put the two halve back together and plave in a bag, depending on the size of the apple the bag is enough to keep the halves together.

what is also good is taking the apple and using an apple corer to get the apple core out and then put it on tinfoil and then a baking sheet and taking cinnamon and if want to a little bit of brown sugar and putting it down the hole and then I put it on broiler until the peel is starting to shrink up

Here's a tasty apple treat for only 122 calories. I got this from a trainer tip on BIggest Loser.

Place 1 regular apple in a microwaveable bowl with a shallow layer of water inside. Cover and micro on full power for 3 mins if 1000W or as in my case 4 mins for my 800W. Let it stand for a minute then drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over the top. Finally sprinkle on some Cinnamon and there's nothing more to do but...enjoy :-)
