Apple season is here! Have you made a trip to an orchard yet? There’s still plenty of time if you haven’t, but we all know that loading up on fresh fall apples is an annual tradition. Once you have your bounty, you need recipes, and I have 100 apple recipes for you here! A coffee cake that is a perfect fall brunch recipe, and a farro salad that is equally wonderful for lunch or dinner.
How about making your own Apple Cider Vinegar like I did?
What can you do with apple cider vinegar?
There are lots of uses for apple cider vinegar in cooking.
Salad dressings – by shaking it in a mason jar with olive oil, mustard, honey, and herbs you have a great vinaigrette
Baking – reacts with baking soda to help baked goods rise (this is a common technique found in vegan recipes)
Pickling – use as a base to make flavorful quick pickles
Brightener – add a splash to soups, chilis, beans, or sauces to liven up flavors and give them the hint of acid you often need in slow cooked foods to brighten them up. Listen to a discussion about that on my radio podcast, The Weekly Dish
Make a wellness tonic – mix 2 tsp in water with honey and lemon and a dash of hot pepper flakes in a cup and a half of water and drink it hot like a tea to soothe your sore throat or drink it like a wellness shot
Here are 19 recipes from my site for apples including my WORLD FAMOUS Apple Dumplings
What Else Is New?
I stumbled on one of those random lists that claimed to know the most popular sandwich in every state. In Minnesota, it was a walleye sandwich. I don’t know if that’s true, but it inspired me to come up with my 3 favorite walleye sandwiches in the Twin Cities!
Pasta carbonara is one of my favorites, and this recipe is a simple classic version that is comforting and delicious.
