ROASTED CHEDDAR HERB ALMONDS
I prepared these one Christmas for my son, who was on a low-carb diet. I was afraid he'd be disappointed because he couldn't eat holiday cookies, but these made up for it-he loved them! Save a handful to chop and sprinkle over a green salad or pasta. -Mary Bilyeu, Ann Arbor, Michigan

Steps:
- Carefully warm applesauce in a sauce pan (applesauce can scorch easily due to its sugar content.) Figure approximately 1 cup applesauce per person.
- Meanwhile, slice the cheddar cheese into 1/4 inch cubes.
- Ladle the warm applesauce into bowls and immediately scatter the cheddar cubes and almonds on top. The cheese will begin to melt from the heat of the warmed applesauce.
- Also good as a topping on a bowl of steel cut oatmeal.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that are good for baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Peel and core the apples: This will help the applesauce to cook evenly.
- Add some spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic spices that pair well with applesauce.
- Use fresh cheddar cheese: Grated cheddar cheese will melt smoothly and evenly into the applesauce.
- Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Serve the applesauce warm or cold: Applesauce can be served warm as a side dish or cold as a snack or dessert.
Conclusion:
Applesauce with cheddar cheese and toasted almonds is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's a great way to use up leftover apples, and it's also a healthy and affordable snack or side dish. So next time you're looking for something new to try, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
