A Healthy Treat Recipe from UFC GYM

Nature’s candy not only satisfies your sweet tooth, it nourishes your body. After working so hard at UFC GYM, we agree that you should treat yourself, but it doesn't have to be in an unhealthy way. Using fruit as dessert is a great way to model a healthy lifestyle for your family and friends. This apple dumpling recipe is a winner for my family.
