(really) simple & healthy snacks

Let's talk healthy snacks! Apples are abundant in this season - and will be all throughout the winter.
When friends bring us apples from their country houses, I peel them and put them in a tightly covered pan, with no water, and with a piece of cinammon bark and a vanilla bean.
I let cook over very low heat until they are cooked and can be mashed. It's very nice when they just start to stick to the bottom of the pan ...
Compote de pommes is a classic family dessert in France.
Some types of appel may require you add some water to the pan.

Another classic in my home these days is fresh nuts and bread!
We buy country bread (flour, yeast, salt, water, nothing else, no FAT or OIL, no additives, no conservatives, no SUGAR), then crack open some nuts. Try to put a pice of bread and a nut in your mouth ... healthy and delicious!Fromage Blanc with any of my many jams and preserves is an almost daily pleasure! This is guava jam my mother made (she does fantastic jams!) I serve two spoonfuls of jam over a bowl with plain cream cheese (or cottage cheese, or sour cream, see link). Simple, delicious, and full of healthy stuff!

What are your healthy options?
