apples

If I were getting apples in my bag tomorrow, I’d be making this Dutch baby. I had to make a skillet pancake for a story on German food that publishes tomorrow in the AJC and it’s reminded me how easy these kinds of things are to do and how much everyone likes them.

It’s a recipe that came originally from Southern Living.

So sorry I don’t remember the original source for this. But yummy. And easy.

This is a recipe adapted from Everyday Food.

Another recipe from seriouseats.com. You don’t have to cook the apples in apple cider, but it definitely bumps up the flavor of these apples. Use water if you prefer, or if you just don’t have apple cider available.

Normally, I’m not a fan of purchased pie crust, and you certainly can make your own. As a matter of fact, this would be a good place for a gluten-free press-in-place crust. (I find gluten-free crusts just don’t roll out well for me.) And if you want the cookie to be gluten-free, of course substitute a gluten-free flour in the streusel.

These make the most adorable little individual apple pies – the recipe’s from lovelylittlekitchen.com.

A recipe from King Arthur flour.

Are you a fan of shrubs? We are crazy about them at my house. This apple shrub recipes came from allrecipes.com. A friend on Orcas Island where they have more fruit trees per household than any other place I’ve been swears by this recipe to help use up the bounty from her backyard apple tree. Extra delicious with local ginger, of course.

Did you see this recipe from Paola Villafane with the Decatur Farmers Market? She does a demo at the market each Wednesday evening.
