Appl-icious Dessert

Are you looking for a healthy dessert that's like apple pie? Here you go! *Also doubles as an acceptable breakfast!

Paleo Apple Crisp (original recipe here)

3 apples, diced
2 T coconut oil
2 T cinnamon
1/2 C coconut milk (the original calls for full fat, but we never use full fat, and it caramelizes and turns out fine!)
1 C pecans
2 T maple syrup

1. Saute the apples for about 3 minutes in coconut oil
2. Add the coconut milk and cinnamon and continue to saute for another 5 minutes
3. Add the maple syrup and pecans about halfway through the five minutes, so they warm up, and the pecans get a little toasted.

Serve with more coconut milk (or ice cream!)

We've made this a couple times, and Steve requested it the other day because I bought peppermint ice cream and he can't have any. 

I am trying to get my Christmas cards done so we can mail them from Santa Claus, Indiana this weekend (I guess they have a special stamp!). 

I ran 6 miles around the park yesterday. First time I was off the treadmill in a while! It wasn't a hard run, but it felt like it was taking forever! I was happy to get a little sunshine! Time to start training for the next half again. I'm trying to up my mileage, which is hard when it's cold out! But good for Christmas cookie consumption! 

What are your holiday goals? Are you ok to eat as much as you want, or you trying to stay healthy/on track?
