apple slices in orange juice

I stumbled across a blog of juice recipes a few weeks ago and have been obsessed with owning a juicer ever since.

My husband wasn’t thrilled with the idea. He pointed out all the other kitchen utensils I own and rarely use. He has a point, but with a juicer we could FINALLY consume the recommended number of fruits and vegetables, but in an awesome juice form that wouldn’t taste like spinach and broccoli.

He wasn’t convinced, so when I purchased a juicer (It was on sale! And I had a 30 percent off coupon!), I knew I’d have to hide it from him until the time was right.

He found it two days later.

In hindsight, hiding the juicer in the car trunk was not my brightest idea. Neither is the fact that it has sat, unopened, in our pantry since I bought it.

Determined to prove that juicer was not the rice cooker or the Chocolate Factory or even the Magic Bullet, I got it out to make fresh-squeezed orange juice and apple juice for today’s apple recipe (which is a huge hit on Pinterest right now).

I think I’m going to have to use it 30 to 100 million more times to prove that this kitchen utensil will change our lives.

Raw Apple Snack

• 1 to 2 apples – select a sweet apple like Fuji or Gala (I used Fuji and Honey Crisp)
• 1 medium orange
• 1 medium lemon

Juice lemon and orange into a small bowl.

Slice the apple into thin slices.

Place slices into juice bowl and make sure the juice is all over the apple slices. Place bowl in fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours

Remove from fridge, serve and enjoy!

Note: You can use a green apple in place of one of the other apples to give the plate some contrast for your guests. A green apple will make the snack even more tart.
