It's Apple Season

Fall is in the air and you know what that means - it's apple season! If you haven't already picked a bushel of apples, I suggest you get out there.  There are so many tasty treats to make with apples, but sometimes nothing beats a fresh, crisp apple.

Besides cinnamon, peanut butter is a great compliment for apples.  If you ask me, peanut butter is a great compliment to almost any food, but that's another story.  My problem usually lies in eating peanut butter within moderation.  I usually have a jar of "fancy" nut butter in the cabinet, but for some snacks I like to use PB2.  It's a powdered peanut butter that can be mixed with water, milk, shakes, yogurt, etc.  It's great because it contains nearly 85% less fat calories than traditional nut butters, but it still gives you the rich, creamy peanut butter flavor.  Add it to apple slices and you have a great afternoon snack.
