HEALTH

MATTERS

Improve the nutritional value of candied apples Homemade candied apples are a fixture come Halloween. Sweet, delectable and very easy to make, these apples are a staple at parties and may even be distributed to trick-or-treaters. As anyone who has bitten into a sticky-sweet candied apple can attest, although delicious, these apples are not exactly a healthy snack. Yet, with a few easy modifications, it’s possible to improve the nutritional value of candied apples.

With ingredients like caramel, marshmallow, chocolate fudge, and sugar, it’s easy to see how candied apples do not embody a healthy treat, despite an apple being

underneath all those candy adornments.

Try these ideas to increase the nutritional value of this beloved treat.

• Make your own caramel using condensed milk, brown sugar and butter. By controlling the ingredients, you can avoid extra sugar and any additives in commercially sold caramel toppings.

• Use honey for the outer coating of the apple. Then roll it in chopped almonds or granola.

• Coat apples with dark chocolate, which contains less sugar than milk chocolate and

is packed with antioxidants. Sprinkle with dried cranberries and chopped walnuts.

• Substitute actual cinnamon for melted cinnamon candies in recipes. Mix powdered cinnamon with a light corn syrup and then dip the apples to coat.

• Swirl homemade raspberry jam with an all-natural peanut butter and spread it on the apples for a gourmet take on peanut butter and jelly.

• Hazelnut spreads are all the rage right now. Use your favourite chocolate hazelnut spread on the apples and sprinkle with gra-

nola for crunch.

• Drizzle the apples with your sugary concoction rather than dipping them to cut down on the sugar. This still provides much flavour but does so without all of the sugar.

• Dip apples in melted cheese, like brie or gouda. Sprinkle with bacon bits for a sweet and salty combination.

Experiment with your own flavours. Making your own candied apples, rather than purchasing them from stores, enables you to control the ingredients and how much actual candy goes into the recipe.

The Farmer and the Foodie Tray bakes are the unsung heroes of last-minute dinners. I first heard this British phrase when I watched my dear friend (yes, I realize that’s wishful thinking) Jamie Oliver throw some meat, veg and herbs into his battered “enamel tray,” or baking sheet as we call it, mix it all around and slide it into his backyard wood oven. One or two stirs and 45 minutes later emerged a golden-roasted one dish meal. Sausages are perfect for a tray bake, and with fall’s arrival, it’s only fitting to add Okanagan apples and cider. Did you know that Lepp Farm Market’s sausages and deli meats are all made in-house? Tucked around the corner in the meat shop are talented deli specialists Ryan and Aaden, who love to dream up creative and delicious seasonal flavours. Using pork raised on Lepp Farms located just around the

corner from the Market, they ensure all our fresh sausages are gluten free and delicious and while it seems nothing can budge your favourite turkey and feta sausage from the top of the list, the meat case is always brimming with tasty new creations. This aromatic tray bake tastes best when you experience all the elements together, so make sure you get some pork, apple and potatoes smothered in silky leeks and fennel, all on one forkful. And experience has proven that the leftovers eftovers are even more View delicious excit our when the ing Fall flavour s Class Cooking h a v e Sch on ou edule settled webs r together ite! overnight!

To make Halloween a safe holiday, children and adults can heed these suggestions.

Q Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes.

Although kids might want to wear shoes that match the costume, shoes that fit well and are comfortable are a safer bet.

This will help prevent tripping and falling over cumbersome shoes. It also reduces

Q Go trick-or-treating in groups. Children should not be allowed to go out in search of candy alone. Going in a group means that someone can get help if need be.

Also, there is safety in numbers. Predators won’t view a child as an easy target if he or she is with fellow trick-or-treaters.

Q Be visible. Since daylight saving time begins shortly after Halloween, there are fewer hours of daylight for trick-or-treating. When Halloween falls on a weekday, children have to wait until after school to venture out, and it can quickly become dark. Therefore, make sure that children are equipped with flashlights and put reflective tape on their costumes so they will be more visible.

Q Stick to the sidewalks. Children should

Q Do not enter homes. Unless a child is with an adult and the home is owned by a trusted friend, kids should not enter homes for treats.

Q Avoid candles and jack-o-lanterns. A costume can easily catch on fire, so it is best to steer clear of candles, luminaries and lit pumpkins.

Q Accessorize safely. Select flexible swords and knives if they are accompanying a costume. Avoid rigid items that can cause injuries.

Q Examine all candy before eating. Before kids have their first bite, parents should inspect candy wrappers to determine if there has been any tampering. Also, avoid homemade treats from homes unless you know the people who prepared the items.
