, so the saying goes but if it's eaten another way then does this theory still apply?Try these 'healthier' apple and muesli muffins for breakfast, a quick snack and as a lunch box filler for the kids.
The humble Apple is well known around the globe not only as a tart and at times sweet fruit it is also the name of Coldplays Chris Martin and actress Gwenyth Paltrow's baby girl; Apple.
The French do classics delightfully and their Apple Tarte Tatin is a favourtie, the Dutch adore their Spiced Apple crumble cake. If you are an Aussie as I am then you may have similar memories of this delightful ball of flavour as I do...
Stewed granny smith Apples served with vanilla ice-cream or custard or Apple sauce coupled with roast pork is simple and fond memory! For a serving of apple try these little Apple and muesli muffins, freeze and remove for school lunches or when your friends pop in next.
