    An Apple a Day

    With over 2,500 varieties in the United States, apples are a great way to spice up your fall menus. Apples are a

    fiber help with digestion, it also lowers your risk of heart disease and clogged arteries. Vitamin C helps to keep
    your immune system functioning properly. Apples can be a great (healthy) addition to every meal!
