| It's apple time in Michigan! |
If you haven't bitten into a fresh, crunchy apple, you're missing out. Apples are so versatile too--desserts, salads, sauces, jelly, but especially delicious as a snack or in your lunchbox.

Hi JQ, thanks for sharing your recipe. I absolutely love apples, and they are one fruit that grows very well here in the UK, too. My favourite apple recipe is apple crumble. I used to make it a lot when the children were little. Here's a recipe: http://pennysrecipes.com/72/easy-apple-crumble-recipe
Happy harvest!
Hello Helena. Thank you for your delicious recipe. I looked it up and it is similar to what I call apple crisp. But I think crisp has oats in it as part of the topping. There's no crust to gain extra calories--not that it means much since we like to add ice cream or whipped topping to the crisp.!! The recipe suggested adding custard. Is that like ice cream here?
I love Waldorf salad. I make a simpler version, which should mean that I would make it often, but I forget how easy and delicious it is. Thanks for the reminder. I also made quite possibly my best apple pie ever for Ray's birthday earlier this month. My pie-baking skills had been slipping in recent years, but I think I got back on track with this one. Must have been those Michigan apples!
Hey, JQ. I didn't know how many different kinds of apples existed until a visit to Vermont one fall. Wow! I'd never heard all those names. My mother made Waldof salad. Really yummy. Don't think I have her recipe, so glad for this one. I've shared. :)
Great post and video J.Q. A few years back I went to an apple orchard with one of my friends and I was amazed at the varieties of apples. We were able to sample as many apples as we liked.
Thank you for the wonderful Waldorf Salad recipe.
Hi Nan, you're welcome for the reminder to make apple salad. I make one to using just mayo for the dressing. Quick and easy. If you'd like to practice making more apple pies, I'd be happy to be a guinea pig!!Thanks for stopping in.
Marsha, thanks for sharing! Every year there seems to be a new apple to try. Always experimenting for better flavor, keeping, and texture. I think I read Michigan grows 18 varieties. Apple orchards are such a peaceful place to visit. Well until you go to the farm markets/orchards and people are picking their own. Fall is a busy time for them.
Susan, you're welcome to enjoy the apple salad recipe. Do you ever eat peanut butter on apples? That's one of our fave snacks on Sunday nights--with popcorn of course. Thank you for leaving a comment.
Now that sounds delicious. I'll have to try it. In the meantime, think I'll grab an apple from the fridge. You've made me hungry. Thanks for the recipe.
