Last week's healthy recipe featured apples in a colorful beet salad, perfect for fall.  For another autumnal apple dish, try this healthy eating main course from the Virginia State Apple Board.  Antioxidants, phytonutrients, flavonoids and fiber make apples a strong ally against ailments such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. It's also a golden opportunity to combine this delicious variety with your favorite white fish! 

Makes 4 servings

1 cup grated, peeled golden delicious apple
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 cup minced green onion
1/8 tsp. dried thyme
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
4 sole, cod or other white fish
1/4 tsp. ground ginger fillets (4 to 5 ounces each)
1/4 tsp. ground mustard
1/2 cup chicken broth or water

Heat oven to 400; lightly oil small roasting pan. In medium-size bowl, combine apple, carrot, green onion, lemon juice, ginger, mustard, salt, pepper and thyme; mix well. Spread apple mixture evenly over length of fillets; carefully roll up. Place stuffed fillets, seam side down, in oiled pan. Pour broth over rolled fillets; cover with aluminum foil and bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until fish is opaque and barely flakes.
