I love Fall! Apples are my favorite. Did you know...The humble apple has several health benefits wrapped into a convenient, naturally portable package. One medium-sized apple gives you a little over 4 grams of fiber. More specifically, apples have a type of fiber called pectin that acts as a prebiotic to help your gut microbiome thrive. Apples also have beneficial antioxidants, including one called quercetin, which helps with immune function and reducing inflammation.

Apples come in many different varieties and work well in various dishes. Try pairing raw apples with peanut butter as a healthy snack or cooking them up with some cinnamon for a tasty dessert. You can even add a few slices to a sandwich or cook them into a sauce to go with meats
