EATING WELL where good taste meets good health

Healthy apple recipes for every meal, including dessert, of course!
Sweet, tangy, juicy and flavorful, the apple is nature’s perfect treat, especially when you’re lucky enough to pick them straight off the tree in the fall. You can feel good about eating them, too—apples are low in calories and are a good source of soluble fiber, potassium and folic acid. Apples are great for snacking, but they are also versatile in the kitchen. We may be most familiar with apple-rich baked goods and desserts, but it would be a shame to stop there—apples are also great in savory dishes. Roasting gives them a more intense sweetness that marries well with roast pork, sauteed slices become a meltingly tender accompaniment for turkey cutlets and, when grated, offer a sweet-tart note to our favorite salad. So take advantage of this time of year to celebrate the apple—we hope these healthy recipes serves as inspiration to do just that.

Apple Cooking Tips
Shopping tip: There are so many kinds of apples that it’s impossible to follow one general rule when looking for the right attributes, but there are a few key points to seek out. Look for richly colored fruits with smooth skin and no signs of russeting—those tan or brown streaky, corky, protruding marks that usually show up on the stem or base end of the apple, caused by excessive wetness or several kinds of fungus. Choose unbruised apples that feel firm and heavy in your hand

Storage and preparation tips: Store apples in the refrigerator. In general, firmer, juicier apples like Gala and Fuji will last longer than softer, mealier cultivars like Red and Golden Delicious.
