Apple Crisp for 1, please
Yep, It’s that time of year! Apple Picking! It brings back so much nostalgia and memories and a tradition that I happily keep each year with my girls. It’s been especially fun the last two years apple picking with a curious toddler. The older girls make it fun too but those little eyes of amazement and little hands stuffing apples in a bag melts this Mama’s heart.
I know everyone has gone Pumpkin crazy but we can’t forget about, good ole American apple pie. I am a huge fan of both Pumpkin and apple so this recipe actually works for both! It takes 2-5 minutes and you will be in that fall-warmth-comfort-food-bliss in less than 10 minutes and it is so much better for you!
There are so many to both as a snack!
Apples have many benefits to your diet four benefits:

Apples also provide 14% of the daily value of Vitamin C requirements.
- It’s helps you with weight loss. How? You say? Apples are a great hunger crusher and for fewer calories than most small meals or snacks. There has also been studies that daily diet of apples will lower your cholesterol and heart disease.
