Friday Foodie Fix Apple Gluten Free Recipes

gluten free recipes, easy healthy gluten free living, sans gluten Welcome back to our weekly event, Friday Foodie Fix.  This is where you link up your gluten free recipes each week that contain the Secret Ingredient!

You will also find each week there will be loads of information on that ingredient so even if you don’t have any recipes to share, you’ll gather some useful information.

Make sure you check back to see what recipes have been added.

This week’s secret ingredient is Apple.

Healthy Facts

Apples are one of those foods where that old saying has a lot of science behind it.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away.  Apples have 4 grams of fiber per medium apple for only 9r calories.  They are a good source of immune boosting Vitamin C and antioxidant pectin.   It’s been shown that those who ate an apple a day lost weight and had a lower risk of strokes and heart disease.  If you’re looking for something to eat before you exercise, try an apple.  It’s been shown to boost your exercise endurance.

How to Buy

Look for firm, crisp, well colored skin.  While you’re picking it up give it a good whiff.  Yes smell it.  It should have a bit of an aroma.

How to Store

Store your apples on the countertop.  We have a large apple bowl filled each week.  If you’re not going to be eating them very soon store them in the refrigerator.

Favorite Tip

So how many different varieties can you name?  Everyone usually has their favorite.  Mine is a Winesap.  When I was a kid we would go to the orchard and get a bushel every fall.  Love those apples.  These are great apples to bake as they retain their flavor.  They are also good for making apple sauce, tarts, pies, and cobblers.

Linking up Guidelines

  • Share your own recipe using the Secret Ingredient. This must be your recipe, not copied from someone else.  If you were inspired by another recipe you MUST ALWAYS note that in your recipe.
  • Link the URL of your Specific Individual Recipe Post,  NOT to your home page.
  • Please link back to this post, not a static page so your readers can find the recipes here.
  • When you link, please tell us what you’re sharing.
  • This is a Gluten Free Resource so please make sure you share gluten free recipes.
  • Recipes do not need to be brand new on your blog, just your own and contain the Secret Ingredient.
  • There is no limit to how many times you can post on any given Secret Ingredient,  just Link Back.
  • Please use the FFF icon in your post and feel free to add it to your sidebar!  Here’s the code:  <a href=”https://thewholegang.org/” target=”_blank”><img src=”https://thewholegang.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/FFF-thewholegang.jpg” width=261 height=256 border=0></a>

Friday Foodie Fix will be taking a break as I move to Santa Monica and get settled in.  I can’t wait to find some great foods in the farmers market to share with you.
