    Homemade applesauce in the crockpot. Peel, chop, add a little water, cinnamon, vanilla, cook on low for a 4-5 hours.

    Thinly cut up two apples, put them in the bottom of a water pitcher, then add two cinnamon sticks, fill pitcher halfway with ice, then add water. Let it sit ten minutes before serving.......................................and you have a nice tasting de-tox drink.

    My favorite way to eat apples is to chop one up into cubes, place into a bowl, add about a tablespoon of water, then microwave for about 4 minutes. I take it out of the microwave and usually add cinnamon or peanut butter, or both! It's delicious and so easy to prepare. Try it out :)

    Peel core, sprinkle with lemon or lime to prevent browning, then freeze. You can figure out what you want to do with them later.

    #1 - Peel, dice finely, add 1 tbsp water & microwave until tender. Stir in sweetener and cinnamon, then serve on top of oatmeal.
    #2 - Slice, and use the slices like an edible spoon to eat yoghurt with.
    #3 - Cut into 8 wedges and top each one with cheese, peanut butter, spices or bacon.
    #4 - Chop into cubes and add it to a coleslaw or Caesar salad.
    #5 - Frozen appletini. Blend 1 peeled apple, 1/4 cup water and sugar/sweetener. Freeze in an ice cube tray. When ready to drink, add 1 shot of gin and 1 shot of vermouth, blend again, and serve.

    = 5 apples, gone!
