Sorry! I didn't realize how colorless this picture was!
I'm not sure I have ever had a REAL margarita. Every time I went to Chi Chi's Mexican Restaurant, I got one of the specialty flavored margaritas. They were kinda like Slurpees for adults. Yummy! So.....REAL margaritas never looked or seemed all that fun to me. = ) I used lime, sweet and salt so it kinda sounded
margarita like; hence Margarita Apples. Easy to make if you have Lime Essential Oil on hand.
Margarita Apples
Ingredients:
1 Fuji Apple
2 drops Lime Essential Oil
1/2 tsp Honey
Sprinkles of Salt and Cinnamon
*Sprinkles of granulated sugar optional
I use my handy-dandy Pampered Chef Apple Slicer to cut the apples. Use a glass plate or bowl. I use honey as a carrier for the oil. Put the honey on the plate/bowl, and drop the 2 drops of oil in and mix it around. Put your apples slices on the plate/bowl and smear them around to get them covered with the honey-oil mix. Now sprinkle a tiny amount of salt, and sprinkle cinnamon so they look nicely sprinkled on = ) AND if you are using sugar, sprinkle sugar on now too. That's it. A pretty healthy snack.
Alternatives:
Hot Shot Apples: Use OnGuard, NO Salt, and use cinnamon (maybe cinnamon oil for extra HOT =)
Lemon Drop Apples: Use Lemon with or without salt, sprinkle with sugar, and NO cinnamon.
Enjoy! Joelle

Some of the great uses for lime aside for using it in recipes are for bacterial infections, fever, sore throat, gum or grease removal; it can also help brighten a pale, dull complexion by removing dead skin cells. You can use it to make a fruit and veggie wash. Just think of all the money you'll save right there! That stuff can be expensive! Due to photo-sensitivity, if using topically, avoid direct sunlight 12 hours after use. I personally have never experienced problems, but those words must be said in case some is sensitive.
