Good Morning!!!
Since we are in fall and it's apple picking season: What do you make post-op with all those apples?
If you aren't in a "apple picking" area what is your favorite fall-time dessert?
So far I have made 2 apple crisps; 1 WLS friendly & one for my family. Last night I made my very first batch of applesauce (in the crockpot!!) YUMMY!!!
Thinking apple pancakes for the kids this morning.

Mostly, I just eat them right off the tree. I also like to spread some PB 2 on apple slices. I haven't really cooked with them since WLS, but I may try to make some applesauce. Yesterday, I did make a zucchini-blueberry bread that I modified by substituting the sugar with Splenda for Baking and the 1 cup of oil with 1/2 cup of canola oil and 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce. Couldn't even tell that I had modified the recipe.

I'm in California, so not really an apple picking area - unless I drive to one of the apple farms quite some distance away! I'm not a big apple fan... I love pumpkin anything at this time of year! Pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie - of course, none of this is good for me, but maybe I'll search out some WLS-friendly recipes and give it a try...

Stephanie,
I've had no idea what to make. I didn't know there was a WLS friendly apple crisp. If you don't mind, can you send me the recipe for your WLS apple crisp and the applesauce in the crockpot. I've never been much of a cook, but since the surgery I cook all the time and am wanting to try new things all the time. Thanks!!!!

Hi Debi,
I use the apple crisp recipe from www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com
The crock pot applesauce is so incrediibly easy: fill a crock pot with peeled quartered apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon and 1/4 cup of water. Cooke on low for 8 - 10 hours. Stir and cool. Freeze as you want or serve warm with sugar free whip topping. My kids LOVED it!!!
