Any thoughts on this one...APPLES

[walnut_face]

I love my (english) apples too, and eagerly await the first crop of the year in August (Beauty of Bath) For those eating small apples, beware. If the variety crops a small apple, you should be fine. But if the apple usually a fair size (eg Russett or Cox) there is a chance it could have a high concentration of sugar, having the same qty as a larger apple, but not had the rainfall to grow to normal size. As stated before, all you can do is test

I can only have 1/2 of an Apple after a meal to keep my BG in an acceptable range

Just eat and test - no-one can predict how your body will react to any food.

I eat apples occasionally - generally about half at a time, and preferably in conjunction with other (and some fatty) food. So one half might go in with a chicken drumstick, celery, walnuts, chives, lemon and sour cream, and the other half be gently cooked in butter and cinnamon to mix with some blackberries and a bit of low carb crumble and cream or yoghurt to eat the next day.

At the moment my husband occasionally brings home a few lovely small crunchy apples that fall off a tree near the edge of the local playing field where he often takes the dogs.

Does the thought of being shot for eating one keep you on the straight and arrow??

I have a basic mix of ground almonds (or sometimes DIY ground hazelnuts and cocoa powder), butter, and Sukrin Gold (a demerera/brown sugar alternative) which will make me crumble or shortcake, or with eggs added make microwave muffins. Have a check in our low carb recipes thread as I did a long post on these and other variations there!
