Apples, Almond Butter and Honey

Homemade spread on toasted bread . . .

1 c. raw, whole almonds
2 tbs. vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt

In a medium sauce pan, toast almonds until golden brown to enhance the delicious nutty flavor. Combine almonds, oil and salt in a food processor, and blend until desired consistency. I prefer the mixture to be extra smooth and creamy. Store the almond butter in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

I like to serve this almond butter on toasted sourdough, with sliced green apples and a drizzle of honey.
