It’s apple picking haul season and that means bushels of apples and all the apple recipes! If you are like me, its a bit overwhelming trying to find good recipes to make with all the apples. So, I went to work finding 5 recipes to make with your apple picking haul! (All recipes are linked in the headings below)
1.) Crock-Pot Apple Butter
Apple butter was without doubt one of my favorite recipes! So easy to do and you get a great result. This apple butter is great on a good piece of toast or in some oatmeal in the morning. I highly recommend making this to share with family and friends!
2.) Apple Cinnamon Fritter Bread
Apple cinnamon fritter bread was my husbands favorite and a huge hit! The layer of apple cinnamon in the middle of the bread is a game changer and really enhances the taste of the bread. This apple bread is one that I will continue to make for seasons to come as its the perfect fall compliment to a cup of coffee on a chilly morning.
3.) Apple Muffins
Apple Muffins were a spur of the moment Friday afternoon decision. They didn’t take long at all and were such a treat for breakfast on Saturday morning. Apple muffins are full of that crisp apple flavor and spices. It’s not overpowering in spice and it hits the spot! The best part about these is they don’t take a lot of apples so you can make several batches for friends and family!
4.) Mini Apple Pies
Let me start out by saying that these mini apple pies took work. It wasn’t that they were necessarily hard to make, its that they take quite a bit of time to make. To make the lattice tops like I did, just requires patience to get them set up right and placed on top of the pies. However, I truly think they were worth the effort. Mini apple pies are the perfect compliment to a party and they use a bunch of apples!
5.) Harvest Chicken Apple Skillet
Finally, we have the harvest chicken apple skillet. This skillet is unique in flavors, but definitely has a fall vibe to it. I grew to really like this recipe but its definitely a sweet and savory dish and that presents a big flavor profile. I do recommend trying it though! It’s good to mix things up and try something new and different and this fits the bill!
And that’s it! These are my top 5 recipes to make with your apple picking haul. If you decide to try any of them let me know below in the comment section!
