Have you gone apple picking yet? Well, let’s get to it and burn some calories while having a blast: September is the season for this nostalgic activity! You know what else? It’s also still grilling season! What’s my point? Apparently, I’m a very seasonal girl, because I’m combining both for this delicious recipe! That’s right… apple picking and grilling… don’t worry, it will make sense very shortly.
Grilling is so easy, fun, and the clean-up is a cinch! In addition, there is so much room for creativity and it is a super healthy way to prepare your food. Even with that said, I’m sure you’re thinking that it seems a bit odd to be grilling apples, right? However, trust me when I tell you that this might become your new favorite dessert! The way that these apples combine with the rest of my chosen ingredients create such a delicious treat that it seems almost impossible to be good for you! But rest assured, being that it’s coming from me, you know that it is!
Keeping our bodies in shape is hard work… and, yes, it absolutely does mean making sacrifices when it comes to the foods that we choose to eat! However, the key is to still enjoy the foods that you love by simply recreating them into a healthy version. That’s what I’m here for! I’ll take the guesswork away from you and bring you new recipes each and every week! It’s all about ingredient swaps!
