6 Fall Recipes You Need To Make This Season. Quick, Easy, & (Mostly) Healthy!
September 29, 2016
There’s something so cozy about fall. Cool weather, warm drinks, mouthwatering pumpkin pies, cinnamon, clove, spices that make you want to take a deep breath. We love fall because it just has a refreshing feeling that can only compete with the transition from winter to spring.
Most fall dishes require meticulous work peeling apples, roasting pumpkin (or, let’s be real - opening a can), delicately rolling and shaping pie crust. Real talk – sometimes we don’t have the time to slave in the kitchen for hours making the perfect meal. The good news is you can capture the flavor and essence of fall in some quick, easy, (mostly) healthy dishes that we’re confident you’ll love.

Ok… we’ve been on a health kick for the last couple of recipes. Now it’s time for the dessert. These apple crisp baked apples are magic.

If you just NEED a healthy quality so that you’re not just eating dessert, remember you’re getting tons of fiber from the apples and oats.
