3 Ideas for Apple Recipes

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Apples are wonderful all year round, and can be found just about anywhere in many different varieties. Those with apple trees also know how many apples one small tree can produce.

If you’ve just purchased a large bag of apples or you are harvesting your own apples, here are a few ideas for recipes:

  1. Apple Pie
    One of my favorite things to do with apples, and a highly requested pot luck item. Everyone has their own recipe for apple pie, and it’s extremely easy to find.
  2. Apple Crisp
    Another popular recipe, and appears easy to make. I personally have never made apple crisp, but I do know how wonderful it can be when homemade.
  3. Baked Apples
    Wonderful for desserts or as a sweet addition to any meal. If you have never tried baked apples, you are missing out. Very tasty!

There are tons of other things you can do with an apple. Don’t forget the best thing of all – apples as snacks! Used with peanut butter or caramel dip, it makes for a perfect after school snack.

Kids have to eat. Three meals a day, every day. All moms know how important it is to have an arsenal of quick meals handy. You never know when you’ll have to put healthy food on the table in a hurry, or when you need ideas so dad can help.

Dunk It
Lucky for us, kids love dip. Cut some fresh cucumbers, carrots, zucchini, broccoli, celery, and bell peppers and serve them with ranch dressing. Even finicky veggie-haters will eat their veggies with dressing on them.

Saved by a Sandwich
Start with two waffles, an English muffin, bagel, croissant, or a hotdog, hoagie or hamburger bun. Simply add jam, peanut butter, fruit slices, meat, hummus, veggies, eggs, or cheese. The possibilities are endless.

Oodles of Noodles
If you’ve got noodles, you can make a meal. Add some salad dressing and some meat, garbanzo beans and veggies and you’ve got pasta salad. Or, start with noodles and add a little butter and parmesan cheese to make buttered noodles. And, there’s always the classic standby – add pasta sauce and a dollop of cottage cheese onto noodles and you just made lasagna.

Wrap it Up
If you’ve got tortillas and leftovers, you’ve got a wonderful meal. Warm up your leftovers and wrap them up in a tortilla with some cheese. Voila! Leftovers Burrito.

Spuds from Heaven
Potatoes are a meal waiting to happen. Microwave a potato, pile on cheese of any sort (cheddar, mozzarella, cottage cheese) and some meat, veggies, or even salsa or sunflower seeds, and you have a delicious dinner.

Soup Warms the Soul
Fill a pan with broth and veggies. Then, just throw in whatever you have in the house, meat or beans, leftovers, a can of diced tomatoes, noodles or rice, and spices. You just made soup in minutes.

Turn the Day Upside Down
You can have breakfast any time. Cereal, eggs & bacon, waffles, or pancakes. Breakfast is always better at night.

Next time you’re in a position to make a meal in a hurry, refer back to this list and presto – you’ll have dinner on the table in minutes.
