Apple Recipe from the Mad-Scientist of Cooking!

One of my favorite things to do is create low-budget snacks and meals because I love challenges. We all know that “Apples” are very good for us and most children love them. I use to make this Apple Salad all of the time when my brother and sister lived at home. I have called it several things throughout the years but for the sake of this article, I will just call it “Another Apple Salad”. Enjoy :0)

Another Apple Salad

3-Red Apples cubed into small pieces
1-cup Raisins
1-cup of Nuts (chopped finely)
1/8 cup Raw Honey
1-container of Low Fat Cool Whip
¼ teaspoon of Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon of Nutmeg
¼ teaspoon of Ginger

(I put ¼ teaspoons down for the measurements; to be honest I just do not measure but add whatever amount I like. So please adjust the measurements to suit your taste buds!)

Mix well and serve with Ginger-Snaps!

** There is something about the ginger-snaps that just adds to the flavor.

**When I made this salad/dip pretty regularity I would always stock up on apples when I caught them on sale. Remember there are a TON of things you can do with them, and they will last a good while in the refrigerator- especially Granny Smith Apples.

**Try to purchase nuts when they are sale and keep them in the freezer and they will last longer. I usually purchase them during autumn when they have all of the baking stuff displayed at the stores, bring them home and freeze them. That way when I want to add nuts to a recipe I just pull them out of the freezer.

WhiteOak believes cooking is a journey and as with all journeys you must be willing to explore. Sometimes experimenting with cooking can mean “inedible food concoctions” but it can also mean you have just created a “FANTASTIC NEW RECIPE!

Never be afraid to experiment and do not be afraid to be that “Mad Scientist of Cooking” because really one day you will see how important it is to be versatile with your cooking skills. You can read more about WhiteOak our Fave Member for 08/2010.
