50 + 1 Recipes for Apples..........

Decided to give veggies a break and do a series of fruit recipes. Today its apples, which are readily available all over the world.

1. Apple Sauce. I make this all the time. I buy apples from the reduced produce pile, peel it and cut them up, pop them in a pan with a little water and boil them for a few minutes until softened. Then puree them in the blender. You could add cinnamon if you want, we like ours plain, sometimes we add some frozen rapsberries, or strawberries, for apple strawberry puree, or apple raspberry puree.

2. Apple Cake - make two as these freeze well.



4. Bistro Apple Pizza - this one is a bit strange if you ask me?










9. Apple Pie - this is a step by step recipe with photos


10. Apple Butter - should this be used like jam? Isn't it just like apple sauce?


11. Apple Jelly - another step by step recipe with photos






































































46. Apple Puff Omelet - I can see me trying this recipe




48. Apple-Turkey Burgers with Cranberry- Apple Salsa - this sounds so good......






51. Fresh Fruit Cocktail - I make a version of this, it's a great way of using up excess fruit you may have in the house.


So there you go there are some yummy recipes amongst those. I can see me trying a few, and I hope you do too. Next week it will be Pears.

I will have to try the omelet!

apple butter is more like jelly than sauce. it was a way for our ancestors to preserve all those apples without using store bought pectin. I am not usre if applesauce keeps as well in jars. I have seen apple butter made and it is a long process but not labour intensive. evelyn
