Apples for Dessert

Ever since I bought my first organic apple, I've been hooked. I lost my love for apples about the time I started shopping at Winco, where the apples taste like sugary styrofoam. However, organic apples (Trader Joes, or organic type store) really have flavor.


The simplest dessert is one I dubbed "raw apple pie" I just sliced up the apple and sprinkled cinnamon and rock sugar ("sugar-in-the-raw" or turbinado)









This was also very good- sliced apple with pistachios, coconut and minced cranberries. I drizzled a sweet-tart sauce over the top (proportions are approximate):

1 TB Agave syrup
2 TB Orange champagne vinegar
drizzle of olive oil
drop of almond extract
