The sound amazing!!! I am a meal prep person though, do they freeze and heat up well?
We think they taste amazing, too, Tiffany! We haven't tried freezing yet, but we don't see any reason why they wouldn't freeze well. Just be sure to store air-tight.
I might just have to try it and see how it works!!
Love them, so simple and easy to make. Had no complaints so far, everyone loves them!
I have the apples coming right now! I used the flex monkey bread flavored sweetener! I can’t wait to do how they taste! I will let you know…
Teresa, Please do! 🙂
Do you have to use coconut sugar?
Brittani, You don’t have to, it’s up to you.
