Another great snack idea!

Thanks to everyone who joined us at Earthfare last night for our first snacks class. During the class we whipped up some easy black bean brownies and sampled healthy popcorn.

Another easy snack option is applies in coconut oil. I discovered this tasty treat last year while experimenting with coconut oil. First I thinly slice an apple. Then I heat some coconut oil in a skillet. Once the oil is nice and hot, I lay the apple slices in the oil without stacking them. I let the apples "cook" for a few minutes. Once they become brown on the bottom, I flip them over and brown the other side. Saute for the crispiness you desire. I then take the apples out of the skillet and lay them on a few paper towels to absorb the extra oil. I will then sprinkle with cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice. It's a wonderful snack for kids and adults in that it supples nutrients from the apple but also a good fat source from the coconut oil. Voila!
