Stuff them and bake them: Using a paring knife to cut out the core from
whole apples to within a half an inch of the bottom (try granny smith or
braeburn) Stand apples up in a baking dish and stuff with driedcranberries and chopped pecans. Drizzle with honey and bake at 375 for
30 mins or until soft. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
=Add a sweet touch to chicken: Slice 2 apples into wedges (any kind will
do) and add to a pan of roasting chicken about 30 mins before the end of
the cooking time. Serve with sweet potatoes for a perfect fall feast.=
Bake ultra moist muffins: Cook peeled, chopped sweet apples (try gala)
in a few tablespoons of water until soft and sauce like. Add 2 or 3 Tbspapple pulp to your favorite muffin batter and bake as you would normally

Saute a sizzling side dish: Core your favorite variety of apple. Sliceinto rings or wedges. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over
medium heat. Add apples and 1 or 2 thinly sliced leeks. Saute until soft
and golden. Sprinkle with black pepper and serve topped with crumbledcooked bacon.

Jazz up grilled cheese: Mix a grated tart apple such as granny smithwith shredded cheddar cheese and a bit of dijon mustard. Spread between
2 sliced of multigrain bread and cook in a nonstick skillet (or a
sandwich press if you have one) until the bread is toasted and thecheese is nice and gooey

Lunch on a crisp salad: Slice up a sweet apple (empire or pink ladywould be tasty) into small chunks and sprinkle with lemon juice. Toss
with baby spinach or other greens, crumbled feta cheese and walnuts. To
make it a meatier meal top with leftover chicken=
Give meatballs a makeover: Saute a peeled chopped apple any kind in a
few tablespoons of water until soft and pulpy. Combine with groundturkey, sauteed onions, pinch of dried basil, dash of worcestershire
sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Shape into meatballs and saute in
skillet with a bit of olive oil until cooked through=
Make personal size pies: Chop up a granny smith, golden delicious or any
other good pie apple. Arrange in the center of several squares of thawedfrozen puff pastry dough. Top with chopped raisins and sprinkle with
cinnamon and brown sugar. Brush pastry edges with melted butter and fold
over filling into a triangle. Brush with more melted butter and bake 350for about 20 mins or until golden and puffy

Whip up a quick applesauce: Pierce a few apples with a knife severaltimes and insert whole cloves into each slit. Place on a plate and
microwave about 3 to 4 mins or until apples are soft. Let cool slightly.
Then cut in half and scoop out the cooked flesh into a bowl. Season withcinnamon and sprinkle with a bit of brown sugar to serve. (McIntosh and
Fuji apples make tasty sauces)
=Spoon into oatmeal: Grate a tart cooking apple (peeled or unpeeled) add
to dry oatmeal and prepare as usual. Topping with drizzle of honey and a
few dried cranberries at the end.Happiness is not so much in having as sharing.We make a living by what
we get but we make a life by what we give.

You can make pie crusts ahead of time (Like the ones the have in the store in the refrigerated section!), so all you have is baking time. It makes your whole house smell like you’ve baked all day when in reality all you did was get home from work, dump a bag of yummy filling into a crust, shove it in the oven & sink into a bubble bath.:tongue:
