An apple a day is still a pretty good idea. One medium apple supplies about 15 percent of the vitamin C your body needs each day and only has 80 calories. Plus, apples are an excellent source of fiber. Eating your apple with the skin on gives you twice as much fiber—about four grams in all—as peeling it.

Munching on an apple is a great snack. The fruit is versatile for cooking, too. Cut up apples add crunch to salads and rice dishes like Wild Rice with Dried Cranberries and Walnuts.

Apples also taste really good with pork. Pan-Seared Pork Chops with Caramelized Apples and Onions and Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Apples are two quick and delicious dinners that double easily. Or, simply serve sautéed apples as a side dish with your favorite pork recipe (chicken pairs well flavor-wise with apples too!)

You can also add sautéed apples onto pancakes in the morning. Mixing apples into a bowl of old-fashion oatmeal is another classic, super nutritious breakfast.

Store apples at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for up to six weeks. If you’re slicing a bunch of apples to serve, rub the cut surface with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown.
