You Can Eat Apples HOW? 3 New Ways to Chow Down on This Superfood

by Sarah-Jane Bedwell with additional reporting by Alexis Joseph

It's no secret we're huge fans of apples here at SELF. This stunning superfood has a whopping six grams of filling fiber per serving and is famed for its ability (thanks to all those antioxidants) to fight cancer -- not to mention to quickly de-bloat before a night out. We all love grabbing an apple on the go or slathering one with peanut butter for a quick snack, but have you ever thought about using it as a crust? Or in mashed potatoes? Check these three unusual ways to get in apple's amazing superfood-tastic powers.

Walnut Apple Cheddar Pizza: OK, so this isn't your obvious pepperoni, right? But that's alright, guys: Apples on a pizza may sound a bit funky, but trust me, they are the perfect complement to the sharp cheddar on this pie. The toasty walnuts not only add tasty crunch, but they're also packed with brain-boosting omega-3 fatty acids.

Apple-Crusted Salmon: This recipe pairs roasted salmon with both red and green apples to make one incredible unique entree. Other flavors you'll find here? Fresh mint, chives, orange juice and honey. Point being? It's delicious.

Apple Mashed Potatoes: Sounds weird, tastes delicious! Tart Granny Smith apples offer the perfect flavor contrast to these super-creamy tots. If Guy Fieri says they're good, we'll most definitely take his word for it. Wouldn't you?
