5 ways to eat an apple

I think we’ve all heard the phrase “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” While an apple may not necessarily be the thing preventing you from a doctor’s visit, it sure is a great source of vitamin C. Apples are enjoyable and healthy on their own, but sometimes we can indulge in delicious apple fantasies.  Here are five ways to eat an apple.

1. Bake an apple pie: Apple pies are traditional and tasty, and loved by many. Adding sprinkles of cinnamon and some vanilla or even a little bit of lemon zest can make your apple pies delectable. 

   

2. Introduce apples to your salad: Adding a touch of fruit not only makes a salad more colourful, but also more flavourful. A few slices of fresh apple will add a touch of sweetness and crispiness to your healthy salad dishes. 

   

3. Pair an apple with meat: You can use apples in creamy sauces for meat, such as pork chops. Sautéing pork chops in sauce made from apple cider and sage can be an easy and delicious meal. 

   

4. Apple in a cake: Who doesn’t love a slice of yummy cake? A good match-up would be a coffee cake topped with apples. A little bitter and a little sweet. Of course, there are many ways to make a cake out of apples. 

   

5. Drink of apple cider: Have a hot drink of steaming apple cider on a cold day. It’s a soothing way to warm yourself up. Sprinkle on some cinnamon for some extra spice.
