This is a really fast and health recipe that pairs well with just about any side. We chose Rice-a-Roni because it is my husbands favorite, but I think that it would be really fabulous with roasted sweet potatoes.

Diabetic Apple Pie
We had my in-laws over for dinner the other night. I wanted to have dessert, but my father-in-law is diabetic so I couldn't just make one of my usual desserts. I went looking for a diabetic dessert and found this gem. It was so delicious! I think that I liked it better than regular apple pie because it was not as sweet and only had one crust instead of two. I will make this again. It is so easy and flavorful, not to mention, fairly good for you.

Recipe Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
4 large red Delicious apples, cored, peeled,and sliced (I used golden delicious)
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 refrigerated folded pie crust, (from 15-oz pkg)
Nonstick cooking spray, as needed
Recipe Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix well. Add the apples and toss to coat completely.
3. Pour the apple mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. In a small bowl, combine the butter and vanilla and pour over the apples. Cover the apples with the pie crust, pressing against the pie plate to seal, and flute, if desired.
Spray the crust with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
This recipe yields 8 servings. Serving size: 1 slice.

Claudia's Curried Sweet Potato-Apple Soup
This recipe was in my latest issue of Food Network Magazine. It was deicious! I know this sounds crazy, but it would make delicious food for a baby. I will remember it when my baby gets old enough for solids. The recipe says that it serves 4, but I think it could easily serve 6-8.

Ingredients:
3 medium sweet potatoes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for garnish
1 1/2 teaspoons Madras curry powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 cups chunky applesauce
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Peel and dice 2 1/2 sweet potatoes. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, nutmeg, 1 1/4 teaspoons curry powder, and salt and pepper to taste and cook until toasted, 1 more minute.
Add the diced sweet potatoes, chicken broth and 2 cups water to the pot, cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and stir in the applesauce. Simmer, covered, until the sweet potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. Puree the soup with a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper; keep warm.
Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the remaining 1/2 sweet potato and toss with the olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, 7 to 10 minutes.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon curry powder and cook, stirring, until browned; remove from the heat and add the vinegar. Top with the curry butter, cilantro and sweet-potato chips.
