Its apple season, and I have bushels of apples to peel. Would anyone care to share their favorite apple recipes?? 🙂 Pretty please??😛
 
Apple Butter, Apple Turnover, Apple Streusel/Strudel… (I a major sweet tooth, thought I would add a couple of recipe requests to the list 😃 )
 
Baked apples ~ core 'em, stuff 'em with brown sugar, raisins, and cinnamon, and bake on 350* till softened.

I love caramel apples and candied apples too. I don’t know how to do candied apples, but caramel apples are super simple.

Neither of the above require peeling the apples. 😃

What kind of apples do you have? Certain apples perform better in certain recipes.
 
My poor mom has well over 20 dozen apples in her kitchen right now! She is peeling and slicing, then vacuum bagging and freezing. She makes a delicious apple-crisp and used to make wonderful homemade pies (with a great crust!). I look forward to seeing some other recipes that I can share with her… does someone have a good one for apple butter?
 
I have cortland apples. They’re great for apple pies, sauce and crisps.

I guess I’m just looking to twist my recipes a bit. They’re a bit too tried and true:blush: , and I need to jazz them up.

My kids love applesauce, and I don’t really need a recipe for that, but I’d love to hear what others make and bake. 😃 Its baking season and I love trying out new recipes. When my babe isn’t nursing:whistle: , I’ll post my apple recipes
 
Apples are also great in savory dishes, such as stuffing for birds. I’ve done a wild rice stuffing for turkey with chopped apple, raisins, sausage and walnuts that was a big hit at Thanksgiving. I’m sure they’d be good in a bread stuffing as well. You could also just stuff the inside of your chicken with sliced apples before you bake it, it gives the breast meat in particular a really nice flavor. Chopped apples mixed in with your breakfast sausage is really nice. I don’t make my own sausages, but I have some chicken sausages with apples and cinnamon in the fridge right now that my son loves. You can usually buy sausage casings @ the butcher dept., and I doubt it would be very difficult to make your own sausages.

Pork and apples go really well together. Roasted pork loin with an apple compote is kinda fancy (I’ve made compote once, years ago, it wasn’t difficult but I don’t remember the recipe). My mom would always serve apple sauce with pork chops when we were growing up.

We’re expecting a cold front tomorrow. I think I’ll bake a chicken with some apples inside.

OOh, forgot about my apple/pork chop recipe:

4 pork cops (med cut)
2 Tbs oil
1 Tbs flour
1 C Apple juice
2 Tbs butter
1 Onion
1 beef stock cube
1 large Green apple

Heat butter and oil in pan, add peeled and sliced onion; cook until onion is transparent, remove from pan. Add chops to pan, cook until brown on both sides, remove from pan. Add flour to pan, cook 1 min while stirring. Add crumbled stock cube and apple juice, mix well. Stir until sauce boils and thickens. reduce heat, return chops and oinions to the pan. Peel apple, slice thickly, place over chops & cover. Cook over low heat 15-20 minutes or until chops are done.

Apple Pan Dowdy
this is how we do it in our family, like a cobbler, baked in cast iron dutch oven with a lid, on hot coals, with more coals on the lid, then covered with dirt (make sure lid is seale with aluminum foil first). or bake in a conventional oven at 325 for, oh, 35-40 minutes, check it.

we always use jiffy bisket mix but you could use a mix, make your own biscuit recipe, or use refrig biscuits from a can. make a layer on the bottom of a well seasoned and greased skillet or dutch oven, butter can burn, crisco is better, lard is best. you want it at least 3/4 inch thick allover the bottom

peel and core the apples, slice thinly, at least 8 slices per apple, our dutch oven needs at least 8 apples,
mix with a cup of melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and we like chopped walnuts or pecans, some like raisins, but I don’t.

spread fruit over biscuit layer, add another layer of biscuit dough, cover and bake. if doing this in conventional oven, take the lid off after 20 min. and let the top brown.

this comes out like a rather gooey cobbler

fabulous over ice cream

“Shoofly pie and apple pandowdy. Makes your eyes light up, your tummy say 'howdy…”

Anyone else know that song?? Dinah Shore, I believe…but I’m not supposed to be old enough to know that song. 😊

Thanks Annie! I think I’ll try that in a couple of days. Today I did 3 pies…I had them made before I read the rosemary recipe, perhaps next time!

Dinner tomorrow is chicken with Apple and thyme, out on the grill.👍
