An apple a day is tasty
An apple eaten right out of your hand hits the spot on a crisp fall day. But when you’re craving something sweet, try this inventive recipe. Plain apple slices get an upgrade when drizzled with nut butter and yogurt sauce, then topped with decadent dark chocolate shavings. At 200 calories and four grams of fiber per serving (approx. 12 apple slices), these apple nachos are a healthier way to indulge after dinner or at snack time. You’ll love the sweet, nutty flavor in every crunchy bite.
