🍎🍏🍎Apple-solutely Delicious 🍎🍏🍎~A Few Words From Susan~ I opened the refrigerator door this morning, and was greeted by an explosion of apples rolling all over the floor. After I corralled them, which was complicated by the fact that the dogs thought all of these edible rolling balls were so much fun, I realized it was time to make apple crisp! I'll share my recipe below. Early fall is a peak harvest season for fruits and vegetables that will last through early winter without freezing or canning, as long as you have enough refrigerator space. I've included a video I created last year, covering how long most of these
"keepers" can actually be kept. The coupon this week is good for 10% off ANY item in my catalog - this is a celebration of Prime Big Deal Days.

Tip of the Week: Homemade Apple Chips For a healthy snack, thinly slice apples and bake them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 200°F (90°C) for about 2 hours until crispy. Sprinkle with cinnamon before baking for an added touch of flavor. These chips are perfect for lunchboxes or on-the-go snacking.
Susan's Apple Crisp Recipe This is a simple apple crisp - not oats, no raisins, no nuts - just the basics. It relies on long slow cooking to bring out the flavors of the apples. I made it 3 times this past week - twice by request for two of my grown children, and once with my 3 year old granddaughter. She made the topping all by herself while I peeled the apples. She and her 18 month old sister then spread the topping on the crisp. It looked and tasted every bit as good as the ones I made myself. Ingredients: 8 -12 large apples 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup flour 1
stick butter at room temperature, plus extra for baking dish 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Pinch of salt 2 Tablespoons water Directions: - Butter a 9x13 Baking dish, and set aside
- To make the topping, combine butter, flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt in a bowl and mix well using your fingers until thorough combined and no pieces are butter are visible. Set aside
- Peel, core, and slice the apples.
- Place the apples in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle with water. If it's late in the season, and the apples aren't fresh and tart, you can add a bit of lemon juice to perk them up.
- Spread the topping over the apples.
- Bake, uncovered at 325°F for 90 minutes, until
the topping is golden brown, and the juices have begum to caramelize.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream, and enjoy any leftovers for breakfast

Jessica from Queen Creek, Arizona suggests, "When making apple pie, mix a few different varieties of apples to get a balance of textures and flavors. A combination of sweet and tart apples enhances the depth of your
pie." David from Georgetown, Texas comments, "Freeze diced apples with a bit of lemon juice. They’re great for smoothies, oatmeal, or baking and prevent waste when you have too many apples on hand." Mary from Leander, Texas shares, "For a quick dessert, core apples and fill them with a mixture of oats, cinnamon, brown sugar, and a dab of butter. Bake until the apples are tender for a simple and delicious treat." James from Eagle
Mountain, Utah notes, "Apple cider vinegar can be made at home by fermenting apple scraps. It's a great way to use up peels and cores, and you end up with a versatile vinegar for salads, marinades, and more." Linda from Bluffton, South Carolina adds, "For a sweet and savory side, roast sliced apples with root vegetables like carrots and parsnips. A drizzle of maple syrup ties
the flavors together beautifully." |
