Another Recipe to kill that sweet craving!! Spicy Sweet Apples

So to be honest I had a small piece of birthday cake on Sunday night.  My fabulous roommate designed a beautiful cake with fondont and butter cream frosting.  I would have thought it would have triggered a huge sugar craving but surprisingly I was barely able to finish my piece.  It was so overwhelmingly sweet since I have not had any kind of sugar other than fruit in two weeks.  This shocked me my sweet tooth is going away!!!!  So hang in there with the sugar cravings they go away.  I thought I would share the below recipe because it helped me in my times of need,  I have tried two different ways.

Spicy Sweet Apples with Almond Butter

1-2 apples depending on serving size (my favorite are Pink Lady Apples)
cinnamon
nutmeg
pumpkin pie spice
coconut oil
almond butter

thinly slice apples and put in frying pan with small amount of coconut oil, season with spices depending on how you like.  I like a lot.  Cook apples until mostly soft but slightly crunchy still.  Dip in raw almond butter.

I have also made this recipe with cooked yams.  the small ones from Trader Joes.  Cook in microwave or oven and then throw in pan and saute with spices and oil.  Dip in almond butter!  Very comforting !
