I am currently hooked on apples. I can't eat a whole apple so I core and peel the apples, cut them up and freeze them in my size portions in a ziplock with diet 7-up to keep them fresh.

2 Tbsp. PHILADELPHIA Light Cream cheese Spread or Fat Free

1 medium apple, cored, cut into 8 wedges

1 Tbsp. PLANTERS Dry Roasted Peanuts, chopped

SPREAD cream cheese spread evenly onto apple wedges; sprinkle with peanuts.

Any kind.

It really is unfortunate because although healthy, they are just (for me) very addictive and I rarely stop at a reasonable sized portion...who can eat just 8 almonds?!?!? :)

So, although my favourite, they really have become my downfall...Eve had her apple, with me, it's nuts.:eek:
