Did you have an exciting outing to pick apples and have no idea what to do with all of them? There are lots of great recipes that you could try out this holiday season. Preparing apple butter is an excellent method of using up your glut of apples, and you may store it in jars for winter.

Perhaps you’d like to go beyond apple butter? Well, there are plenty of novel methods of incorporating apples into your favorite snacks, breakfasts, and dinners. Take a look at the following ideas for some inspiration.

Apple pie

Make an easy deep-dish apple pie that has a crisp sugar crust. It is best served with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream. Certainly, it will be your family’s favorite.

Miso-butter pasta with butternut squash

Miso and butter usually create a simple but flavorful pasta that generally hits every right note: salty, sweet, and savory. The smashed garlic cloves usually roast with the squash to tenderly flavor it, and later turn to silky-soft treasures that you will discover when eating. Completing the dish with lime will certainly cut through the butter’s richness, but you can also use lemon. Try using different vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin, or aubergine to make this your dish.

Baking tray chicken with fennel, onion, and apple

Chicken thighs are usually roasted with autumn ingredients for an instant, delicious baking tray supper. Primarily, the toasted fennel seeds amplify the roasted fennel’s anise flavor and work nicely with the onions and apples. Look for the apple on the tart side since it will naturally sweeten while it cooks in the oven. You can also use bone-in chicken breasts if you want, just ensure that you cut the cooking time by several minutes so they do not dry out. Best served with a bitter green salad that’s flecked with toasted walnuts and blue cheese.

Mixed apple pie

Essentially, this is a classic double-crusted apple pie that’s tightly packed with fruit. However, it calls for a wide range of apples, which gives it far more flavor. If you’re looking for a nuanced filling, you should use many different types: a combination of tart, sweet, tender, and crunchy apples will offer complex textures and tastes. Lime juice’s sharp acidity enhances the tanginess of your blend, 50% of which should be strong apples to prevent the filling from collapsing. To guarantee success with the crust, maintain the ingredients cold, and pop them into the freezer if necessary, and work fast with a subtle touch. A layer of spiced cookie crumbs will prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy and allow even more warmth.

Pork chops with cider and apples

Quite frankly, there are a few culinary combinations that can’t be improved upon, and pork and apples undoubtedly top the list. The recipe generally needs a few pan-frying pork chops and is best served with butter-browned apples, as well as a sauce that is made with cream and cider. It truly makes for an ideal cold-weather meal for your family.
