There are literally hundreds of apple types available in this country. They are nutritious and are believed to have many health benefits. That's probably where the old saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" comes from. Eat them raw or cooked, but do leave the skin on. It is believed that many of the nutrients are in the skin. Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, Red and Yellow Delicious, Macintosh, and Honey Crisp are just some of the more commonly know varieties of apples available in most grocery stores.These apples all have different flavors and textures. Some work better than others when cooking with them. Apples are fairly inexpensive so I urge you to try different ones and see what your favorites are.

Slice 4 oz. of your favorite apple into thin slices. Should be about 12 slices.

Place in a microwave safe container with 2 tablespoons of raisins.

Add cinnamon and nutmeg and stir well.

4

Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and microwave for another minute.

Check the apple slices for desired softness. I like a little “chew”, but if you like yours mushy, microwave for another 30 seconds and recheck.

When done, drizzle 2 teaspoons of honey over the mixture and stir well.

Let cool for a few minutes, divide into two equal parts and then serve.
