I'm so happy to have apples again! I brought home nearly twice as many as last time, and I can't wait to start using them. The following recipe was sent to me from Dr. Fuhrman because I am a website member. Members get recipes sent to them daily along with other special offers. My membership costs around $4 a month and gives me access to online tools such as custom menus, "ask the doctor" forums, and a large archive of recipes. The recipes alone make the membership worth it. My only complaint is that a very small fraction of the recipes have pictures with them, which is usually the reason why we choose to make most things: because they look good. First is my recipe as I made it today, followed by the official Dr. Fuhrman Baked Sweet Potatoes with Apples and Cranberries.

I have to say this recipe is just delicious! I made it very late on Tuesday night and did not get to try it till Wednesday for lunch. It was savory enough to have for lunch or for more of a dessert. I'm planning on having it in my oatmeal tomorrow morning. Yum!
I've gotten in the habit of keeping a couple different choices of frozen fruit in my fridge, such a prunes, bananas, and pineapple. What is your favorite frozen fruit to keep on hand?
This looks delicious! Do you think you could omit the juice though? In his book he mentions to never use fruit juice so I'm just curious as to why he posted this recipe. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteDr. Fuhrman doesn't recommend you drink your juice straight up! He prefers the fibre in your fruit to help us. He does use fruit juices in dressings and as a liquid. In this case it is divided into servings and therefore you get a minimum amount. Treat it like a flavour enhancer not a main ingredient.
