Enjoy your autumn fruit with these 10 tasty apple recipes!

This season get your apple on with these delicious new ways to enjoy apples!

Crunch, crunch. Munch, munch. I love the crisp, crunchy sounds and sweet flavour of autumn's signature fruit, the apple. But sometimes if I have had too much of it, I get bored of apples and they lose their appeal. This is exactly what I don't want to have happen! Apples are excellent for your health!

Apples fall in the lower end of the glycemic index, containing a high volume of water and fibre. What does that mean? It means that you would have to eat a lot of apples before you significantly raised your blood sugar levels. Apples can help you add nutrition to your meals and keep you full longer!

So how can we keep this nutritious autumn delight in our diet without getting bored of it? Shape Magazine shared fresh ideas and tasty recipes in their slideshow: 10 New (Delicious!) Ways to Eat Apples.

Enjoy your apples!
