    These apple slices are a delicious snack. Recipes like this really help with making your eating habits more healthy due to diabetes. I only made 2 variations to the recipe. I added sliced almonds and used no sugar added peanut butter. This recipe has definitely became one of my snack foods. Thank you for this recipe.
