Apple for snack

There's a quote that says "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". Is that true ? There are 9 reasons why an apple a day really keeps the doctor away. Click here if you want to read the details. This makes me realize, health is not expensive at all. Besides, how much does an apple cost you ? Cheap, right ? :)

But, I'm not the one who regularly eat an apple a day (uppsss...). I usually serve apple in a simple way, cut apple into pieces then soak in salty cold water for a while. Drain before you eat it. Works well if you are adding apples to fruit salad.

Apple for afternoon snack at tea time ? Perhaps this might give you an idea of light snack served with a cup of tea or coffee. Fried bread with apple filling or Roti goreng isi apel. Super duper easy. You don't need to make your own bread, you can use store-bought square white bread.
