Can you believe how many different types of apples there are out there in this world? At the grocery stores, you can find so many different ones… granny smith, macintosh, golden delicious, just to name a few. My favourite apple at the moment is organic ambrosia apples. These apples are crisp, sweet and smell good. They are also PRETTY- a multicolour apple, pink & a creamy colour! So I did some research on these ambrosia apples and found this great pdf all about it: (http://www.bctree.com/pressroom/downloads/AppleNewsletter-1.pdf). So if you want to know more, click the link. Oh, want to know something interesting? These apples are great for baking! Why?? Because they keep their shape when cooked so if you are making a pretty pie that would look awesome! Also, you can use them in salads like fennel and apple salad (omg it's soooo delicious), because they don’t brown fast. Cool right? Okay, maybe that's not cool to you, but I think it is really cool! haha
So I recently baked, Strudel topped Apple Muffins. I got the recipe from the book, Bite Me. (This book is awesome and so easy to follow- I totally recommend buying it, especially if you are a beginner to cooking/baking.)
RESULTS: these apple muffins were good! They were moist (well more moist the day after I put them in my cool cake stand container thingy haha). They had bits of apples throughout and had a little crunchy top because of the strudel topping. I would make them again!
So next time you want a snack, pick up an apple to keep the doctor away or just put them in some muffins :)
Apples provide great health benefits, such as fibre… and fibre helps you with cholesterol, cleaning out your blood vessels, like a broom. Apples also provide vitamin C which help with your overall immunity and antioxidants which help you your cells from damage from these nasty things called free radicals. And many more benefits. YAY APPLES!! =D
