An Apple A Day

The old saying, “An apple a day, keeps the Doctor away” may have some truth to it. Apples are a good source of fiber and vitamins A and C. They’re also rich in the powerful flavonoid quercetin, which acts as an antioxidant. Apples may help prevent some cancers and protect the arteries and heart. Eating an apple vs drinking apple juice. Whole fruit is better than apple juice, which loses 80% of its quercetin during processing. Fresh is always Best.

Recipe Tip:

Serve Deep Dish Caramel Apple Pie with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Cinnamon Ice Cream or Caramel Swirl Ice Cream for a decadent dessert.
