Cook's Notes

This is such an easy and nutritious snack, light breakfast or breakfast side. When the kids have slumber parties, we fix up a breakfast bar and let their guests make them to their liking.

Great idea - tasted yummy.. We fed it to our toddlers - big hit! we avoid the chemical sugars - a dash of agave did the trick for us!

Hey guys - this called for a "sprinkle" of artificial sweetner. I can't imagine making an issue over that? Sounds like a yummy recipe - I might sub honey or even raw sugar. Reminds me of apple pie filling - never had an apple pie yet that didn't call for some sweetner of some kind....

I agree with the previous poster. We must get away from artificial "food", be it sweeteners or dyed things or trans fats. Apples are sweet enough on their own.

Apples are naturally sweet, why would you add an artifical sweetner to this recipe? Artifiical sweetners are not a healthy altnerative to sugar, let alone good for enhancing apples.
