I love scones with a cup of tea on a blustery afternoon, or dipped in a cappuccino on an easy Sunday morning... and these yummy vegan apple date walnut scones just satisfy that little "indulgence" without the guilt! They have no added sugar! The sweetness comes naturally from the apples, dates (I use Medjool dates) and walnuts and it's just enough! In fact, have decided to ... Read More »
Golden Apple Pie (Vegan)
I love apples, especially in my dessert, so there is no limit to how many I could create! This Golden Apple Pie is the vegan version of my French Apple Tart. I am amazed that it is almost as rich tasting as my original, which already was nutritious and delicious. The crust is made with white whole wheat flour which is light and delicate but still rich in fiber and white wine ... Read More »

Here is a variation on my rustic galette theme (sounds like I should have Bach playing in the background!). This one is with apples, fresh cranberries and a sprinkle of cinnamon! YUM!

Apple Honey Panini
This is a simply delicious little panini! It's just made with Simply Cinnamon Apples, Greek yogurt and a little honey. But watch out! It's all in the ingredients you choose: I use wholegrain bread (here is another one I like too) that is high in fiber, low in salt, low in sugar, and has no partially hydrogenated oils (even has lentils, and you know how I feel about those!), ...

The Sweetness of Apples
Apples are so sweet in all the ways that warm the heart! Apples feel like home to me! They conjure up autumn days and memories of our family's apple picking tradition at our local orchard every year.

Apple Prune Chicken
I often use dried fruit in my savory sauces to create a luscious glaze and in this case, I used unsweetened prunes. They simmer together with the apples and apple cider in the oven and the combination achieves a fat-free richness that is finger-licking delicious! This simple dish is quick and easy and is an absolute delight! I like to serve it over quinoa, along with ... Read More »
