Thumbs up for apples too....

Okay, It's apple season and how can you not play with this delicious fruit? And, if you aren't, we are! So, we are happy to share our apple findings this fall. The other day I pulled out the Strawberried Muffin recipe that I had posted previously and with a little tweaking found it to be a very delicious breakfast that got the 'thumbs up' approval at our home.

1 whole wheat English muffin
1 T. vanilla yogurt
1 T. cream cheese
1/8 tsp. vanilla extract
1 medium apple
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Wash, peel, core and slice the apple. In a mini food processor, chop the apple. Stir in the cinnamon and set aside. If you do not have a mini food processor, simply chop the apple into small pieces and if the kids are young & want to help, let them cut the apple slices into small pieces with a plastic butter knife.

In a bowl mix together the yogurt, cream cheese and extract until smooth using a metal spoon or mini whisk.

Toast the English muffin as desired.

Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture onto the toasted muffin and top with the apple/cinnamon mixture and enjoy this great breakfast treat.

Does this recipe work with all fruit? I have to say the answer is NO! We have tried this simple concoction with many fruits and so far everything else has gotten a 'thumbs down.'   However, since these two mixtures have passed the test, we'll keep you posted with other findings.

Watch tomorrow for Apple Pin Wheels...
