No one will dispute that, during the fall, you should definitely make apple pie and apple crisp. But to eat up all of the crispy, delicious Galas and Granny Smiths around, these healthy apple recipes will come in handy.
All require few ingredients and very little cooking time. They also allow you to eat apples at basically every meal, in so many different forms. (Sauce! Smoothies! Chips! Let’s go!)

Apple Chips
This one is basically a slice, spice, and bake situation, and then you’ve got a delicious snack you and the kids can munch on all week long. Genius.
Apple Spice Smoothie
What if apple pie was really nutritious and you could drink it? Make this your go-to blend for fall, best enjoyed after a long run in the crisp autumn air.
Homemade Applesauce
The smell of apples bubbling on the stove, the fun of mashing them, and then, of course, the warm, happy-making spoonful.
Red Cabbage Slaw with Apples and Cranberries
This recipe allows you to incorporate apples into your meals in a super fresh way, as part of a crunchy veggie slaw you can eat alongside protein like chicken, fish, or burgers.
