Apples are one of my favorite things about fall. I like them in desserts, but I also like them in savory dishes. I thought I would share some of my favorites:

Pork with Sweet Potatoes and Apples

Pork Tenderloin with Sauerkraut and Apples

Parsnips and Apples

Apple Crisp

Pork Chops with Sauerkraut and Apple

Fried Apples

Apple Cake

I’m not the only one who has lots of apple recipes. Here are some from my friend Melanie at Frugal Kiwi:

Apple Pie Moonshine

Autumn Honey Apple Barley Breakfast

Oven Crisp Apple Chips

 

and another blogger pal Kristin Gough at My Kids Eat Squid:

Savory Apple Pizza

And if you don’t feel like baking, you can buy apple pie flavored ice cream! I didn’t know such a thing existed until Perry’s Ice Cream sent me a free sample (Perry’s reached out to me as a Buffalo-area food blogger and asked me to sample some of their flavors without obligation or requirement that I write or post anything. They did not pay me or do anything other than send me samples). My son loved this ice cream and if you’ve got a craving, but don’t feel like baking an entire pie, it’s a nice substitute!

This week’s Martha Mondays got me craving plain old apple crisp, so I got to work and made one for my family, and also for my parents since my dad was having some surgery done. I make apple crisp the way my mom and grandmother did. We usually just dump, but I measured so I could share it here.

I made an 8×8 pan:

5 apples, peeled cored and thinly sliced

1/2 cup water

salt

cinnamon

1/2 stick unsalted butter

1/4 cup flour

1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 tablespoon cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 and spray your baking pan. Lay the apples in (you don’t have to go nuts and make it all symmetrical, just distribute them evenly). Pour the water over them then sprinkle with some salt and cinnamon. Place the rest of the ingredients in the food processor and whiz until you’ve got coarse meal. Spread that over the top. Bake for about an hour and 15 minutes.
