As the weather gets crisp and the crispness of apples signals the sweet, fleeting passage of fall, it’s time to get cooking. Almost a dozen apple varieties will be available soon in your grocery store—a bumper crop to cook with—and apples are a great cooking fruit.
Cooking Light’s Anna Bullett, MS, RD, has some suggestions to turn fall’s best fruit into anything you can imagine, matching varieties to recipes designed to unlock the unique charm of each fruit—just in time for National Apple Month! For instance, Granny Smiths are great for pies, Pink Ladies make delicious applesauce, and Fujis are delicious raw with a creamy cheese (a perfect after-school snack!).
Anna is certainly no stranger to being clever and crafty in the kitchen. She’s constantly reworking recipes to make them healthier and more family-friendly, and this season’s bounty of apples—farmers predict almost 264-million bushels will be hand-picked this year!—is no match for her culinary prowess.
