I don't know if it keeps the doctor away, but it is very healthy and yummy :) I prefer the golden apples, but I like all of them, really. Sometimes I cook them for hubby to take to work. He loves that. WHen summer is going, I usually make the even more yummy stuff : jelly and "marmelada" ( a very apt name that in portuguese can mean marmelade/jam or making out LOL ) I also bake them in the oven with a bit of sugar, The only thing I don't do much is apple pie. So... so you like apples? Do you use them to make yummy desserts or spreads?

I have been eating an apple a day as of late. I love apples. I also love apple pie and apple butter. those are my favorite things to do with apples other then eating them raw. I haven't tried too many things with them. I do really like apple chips too.

I like apple chips as well :):):) HOw do you make apple butter? That seems yummy :) Apple is so full with vitamins and other good things that is really a good fruit to have around. I only learned how to make apple pie a few years ago - 3 to be exact LOL - It's nice, of course, but not necessarily my favorite :)

Its been a long time scence I have made it so i would have to find the recipe. but it involves cooking the apples down with brown sugar and other spices. In the end its allot like jelly.

We love apples, eat them "baked" in the microwave. Eat them fresh, eat them dipped in peanut butter. I will core them, put raisins, butter and brown sugar and walnuts in the center and microwave them. Serve with vanilla yogurt or whipped topping. I think they are a great source of minerals and vitamins and fiber.

It is good with just nuts, or with other dried fruits, like cranberries.

It may be true an apple a day keeps the doctor away. I used to eat at least an apple a day until I start to feel pain in my gums whenever I bite a hard apple. I never like soft apples though. Now I take only occasionally.

I guess you were the exception to the rule LOL I prefer them soft/ cooked now but that's just because hubby likes it like that so much and always asks me to make it, so I got used to it :)

In the old days when I was at my cousin's place - they had a farm - I used to love to pick my own apples :) I actually loved to climb the trees maybe even more LOL
