An Apple A Day

Red Delicious and Granny Smith....how 'bout them apples?

These are the two best kinds of apples for good health.  Some of the health benefits from these apples include:

Whiter, healthier teeth, avoiding Alzheimer's, protection against Parkinson's, curbing types of cancers, decreasing risks of diabetes, reducing cholesterol, promoting a healthy heart, preventing gallstones, neutralizing IBS, controlling your weight, detoxifying your liver, boosting your immune system, and preventing cataracts....(according to an article I just read).

It is amazing....the evidence that is still visible from Eden, right?  Fruit can heal and protect us.  That is how God intended our food to nourish us and sustain us.  That is one way He will restore the earth as well...but, it makes me happy that there is still evidence of the way He made it in our organic foods....we call them super foods, but, really, they posses healing agents from GOD.

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city.  On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month.  And the leaves of the trees are for the healing of the nations. ~Revelation 22:1-2

So, there is something I make in the Fall with these two types of apples and my family gobbles it up....or down...they don't really care how they eat it, really.  THERE IS NEVER ANY LEFT! I cannot say everything in it has healing agents because it calls for Heath Bar bits, Cool Whip, and these incredible new Kraft caramel bits.....GENIUS!...and I haven't yet done the research into the health contributions of these other ingredients...I'll keep you posted :)

Chop up as many apples as you like....I like to mix Granny Smith and Red Delicious because the different colors are pretty and I think it's better to have a nice blend of sweet and tart....(but, mostly I am concerned for the good health of my family, right?...RIGHT!).  Drizzle some lemon juice on the apples and toss, so they will not brown.  Then, add a couple dollops (that's a fun word) of Cool Whip...enough to lightly coat the chopped apples.  Sprinkle in Heath Bar bits and Kraft Caramel Bits.  This is really a dessert salad because it tastes like you are eating a caramel apple...only your nose and fingers don't get sticky....and you have more flavors to make your mouth happy. ENJOY!
