Fall is in the air and that means apple season is on the way! This fiber packed fruit is rich in heart healthy antioxidants (quercetin in particular) and certainly a fall favorite. Crunchy, sweet and convenient, apples make the perfect snack. To change it up, try slicing and roasting with cinnamon sugar for a light and seasonal treat to satisfy your sweet tooth. And the best part? Approx. 150 calories per serving!
Servings: 2
2 apples (mcintosh or granny smith or combo)
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup of kozy shack rice pudding or 0% vanilla Greek yogurt
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Chop the apples into bite sized cubes or wedges. Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Toss together the apples and cinnamon/sugar mixture in a small cake pan or oven proof dish. Roast in the oven for 15-25 mins or until the apples are cooked through and the juices start to bubble. Granny smith apples will take slightly longer. Remove from the oven. Serve in a bowl with 1/2 cup of plain rice pudding or vanilla Greek yogurt.
