RECIPES

Apple Butter:

Ingredients:
5 medium apples (cored, chopped roughly)
¼ tsp salt
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1.5 Tbsp cinnamon
¼ tsp cloves
¼ cup maple syrup

Procedure:
1. Stir everything together in a pot. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours, or until apples have reduced. Your house will smell delicious and definitely get you into the fall spirit.
2, Remove pot and let cool for 15 mins. Puree using immersion blender or regular blender.
3. To thicken even more, return to the stove over low heat and let it reduce (an additional 30-60 mins works great)
4. Serve warm. Store in the fridge for a few weeks. Freeze for a few months, thaw in the fridge before using.

1 cup canned pumpkin
1¾ cup whole wheat or oat flour

Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Mix together your pumpkin and peanut butter
3. Mix in flower ¼ cup at a time until it’s not a sticky dough.
4. Roll out in between parchment papers and use a cookie cutter to cut out the shapes.

Egg Yolk Face Mask:
