    Depending on your flavor pallet, you may prefer one variety over the other. Below is a list of apple dishes that can help you incorporate more of these health-packed fruits into your daily cooking routine!

    1. Apple Curd

    Apple curd is creamy, rich, and delicious! It is a mashed blend of apples, butter, cinnamon, and sugar that is cooked down and reduced to a thick consistency and can be eaten either warm or cold.

    Apple curd is great on top of toast, on a bagel, mixed with granola, used as a topping for your favorite ice cream, added as a filling to your next homemade pie, or eaten just the way it is!

    Apple Curd
    My easy apple curd is delightfully rich, full of flavor from cinnamon and sweet apples, and it's wonderful in so many desserts! Making a cinnamon apple curd is as simple as mixing a few basic ingredients on the stovetop, though it tastes anything but basic!

    2. Baked Cinnamon Apples

    Baked cinnamon apples are my go-to recipe when I have extra apples that need to be used up. The apples soften in the oven to the perfect texture, and the added cinnamon and sugar give your pallet a decadent flavor that will have you scraping the bottom of your bowl.

    Eat these baked cinnamon apples fresh out of the oven or refrigerate them and enjoy them cold! They can be served as a side dish, a sweet treat, or even as a pairing for pork chops!

    Baked Cinnamon Apples
    Sweet and tender baked cinnamon apples make a great side dish, dessert, or topping for pork chops, and they are so easy to make! Baking the apples brings out their natural sweetness and the sauce is perfectly caramelized, plus you can't beat them when served with ice cream!

    3. Apple Banana Bread

    Apple banana bread is a moist, almost cake-like bread that your guests will love! The soft apple banana bread is chock full of tender chunks of cinnamon vanilla apples.

    Make the apple banana bread in a loaf pan or use muffin pans to make apple banana muffins for the kids. For an extra indulgent experience top it with your favorite frosting or creamy butter.

    4. Bisquick Apple Cobbler

    If you want the perfect recipe for Thanksgiving, then you will definitely want to try a classic Bisquick apple cobbler! This cobbler is easy to make and impressive, to say the least.

    The cinnamon, sugar, and nutmeg blend together with the apples in a way that will leave you wanting more! Eat Bisquick apple cobbler by itself or top it with a delicious dollop of cold vanilla ice cream.

    Apple blackberry crumble is the perfect alternative to apple pie around the holidays. It’s sweet and scrumptious with many textures from the chunks of apple and fresh or frozen blackberries.

    Ingredients
     

    • 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix (1 3.4-ounce box)
    • 2 ½ cups fresh pineapple (Cut into chunks. Each 6 ounces of pineapple chunks = 1 cup - reserve the juice from cutting your fresh pineapple or draining the canned chunks)
    • 2 cups mandarin oranges (Peeled and sliced, every 8 ounces of mandarin orange slices = 1 cup)
    • 2 cups strawberries (fresh, cleaned, stem removed, and sliced)
    • 5 cups red seedless grapes
    • 2 large apples (washed, cored, and cut into bite-sized chunks)
    • 2 large bananas (sliced - *see note)

    Instructions

    • In a small mixing bowl, combine ½ a cup of pineapple juice from your fresh or canned pineapple with the vanilla pudding mix (*see note). Stir until the pudding mix is completely dissolved, set aside.
      3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
    • Slice and prepare your fruit. Then, combine all the fruit in a very large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared pudding mixture over all of the fruit and mix gently to combine.
      2 ½ cups fresh pineapple, 2 cups mandarin oranges, 2 cups strawberries, 5 cups red seedless grapes, 2 large apples, 2 large bananas
    • Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

    Equipment You May Need

    Cutting Board
    Mixing Bowl
    Silicone Spatula Set

    Notes

    • Always wash fruit prior to use to remove pesticide residue, dirt, and other germs or bacteria.
    • If making in advance, always wait to add bananas until right before serving. They won't refrigerate well for more than a day to my tastes.
    • The pineapple juice can be supplemented with orange or lemon juice if desired. 
    • Mix some mini marshmallows in just before serving for an extra sweet treat!
    • Store fruit salad cocktail covered or in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 2-3 days.
