During the summer, I’m all about the no-cook recipes. My current kitchen is not a large space. As a result, whenever I turn a heat source on, no matter how low or how light, it immediately feels like you’re locked in a boiler room. However, as soon as sleep-with-the-windows-open weather begins, I am all about fall flavors and recipes you can cook on the stovetop or in the oven: like apple walnut salsa.
Several weeks ago, a few of my friends and I took an afternoon trip to a nearby apple orchard, which left me with more apples than I knew what to do with. Faced with the difficult decision of how to use said apples, I decided to craft the perfect accompaniment to chips and tortillas: salsa.
- 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and diced into small pieces
- Juice from 2 limes
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced
- 1 fresh Anaheim chile, seeded and sliced
- ½ medium onion, finely chopped
- ½ cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and thinly slice
- ¼ cup cilantro
- In a large bowl, stir together apples and lime juice and set aside. Add peppers, onion, walnuts, ginger and cilantro and stir until ingredients are fully combined. Salsa is based when prepared ahead of time and chilled in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week.

Topped with some butter and sugar? Whew! Heavenly!

November 9, 2011 at 6:18 amI was over a friend’s house for dinner recently. He made a creamy polenta with spinach and cheese, and served it inside a hollowed apple after baking the two together. It was a great presentation, and tasted delicious. I’m going to try it in the future for sure.

November 7, 2011 at 10:38 pmApple butter! Yummmm! That’s by far my favorite thing with apples in the fall. Galas are the best. Get them cored and cooked down with the peels still on them. Work through a food mill, add the sugar and spices, and cook all night long in a large crockpot with the lid open just a little. What sweet dreams one has with the fragrance of fall wafting through the whole house. When you wake, you have that thick consistancy without the burn or the hours of stirring. In little pint jars, my family has come to expect these yearly gifts. If that isn’t enough by itself, I have a great doughnut recipe that uses the apple butter in the dough and the glaze. Oh man, I better get crackin’.

October 31, 2011 at 8:36 amI love a bowl of breakfast “pudding” . Use ricotta cheese, cause ya need some protein in the morning, sweetened with stevia or truvia, a little vanilla, cinnamon, dash of cream- and if you want it nice an smooth run it through a blender or use a hand mixer. Then you add a lovely, crunchy, juicy apple chopped,(or you can grate it if you prefer) add other fruits like a little banana, strawberries, pineapple, peaches, whatever you have so it’s a conglomerate.. then top it off with some walnuts… almonds whatever you like and voila! Yummmmmie breakfast. For some added nutrition, grind your own flax seeds fresh and put them in the mix.. great nutrition and taste!

October 23, 2011 at 3:57 pmOne of my very favorite ways to use apples is to can apple pie in a jar. It’s great to use in a pie and also to just warm up and put over ice cream. There’s non of that gloppy jell like stuff that you get from a can bought from the store. I’m going to give the salsa a try soon!

October 22, 2011 at 10:34 pmI have a couple fave ways to use apples in the fall and winter. I love simple baked apples which you can do so much with and serve warm or cold. Then I love to make a simple tart with just a base and circles of sliced apples with a topping of nuts, berries, maple syrup, and some cinnamon and nutmeg sprinkled over them…. it is delish!

Barbara | Creative Culinary
October 21, 2011 at 4:42 pmI’ve been making an apple crisp using the apples from our own tree every year that I can remember. No matter how many apples the squirrels take one bite out of and ruin, I can always manage enough for our ‘special’ apple crisp.
What makes it so special? Well, in a word…booze. It has Grand Marnier and Amaretto in it and in the words of Mr. Lagasse…yes, they do kick it up a notch. Or more!

Patty
October 21, 2011 at 12:34 pmIn a crock-pot, layer onions, granny smith apples, russett potatoes, drained saurkraut. and sliced keilbassi then repeat the layers. Pour 1 cup of apple cider (or apple juice) over the top. Sprinkle with caraway seeds and add just enough water to cover. Cook on low for 8-10 hours (high for 6-8) testing to be sure the potatoes are tender. We love this served with crusty bread and a good , crisp fall beer. Perfect after a day of leaf raking or outlet shopping!

Cinnamon apple baked oatmeal is SUCH a great way to start a weekday! It’s so full of good things and you can feel good about eating it. But I also can never turn down apple pie or apple crisp.

October 21, 2011 at 6:55 amIn the winter I like to make homemade apple condiments. My favorite is my apply walnuty compote that I put over homemade puff-pastry pinwheels and finish with a little brandied whipped cream. Now that I am at a dorm I don’t get to cook a lot (at all!) but at home I used to make a lot of homemade chutneys in winter and apple was a common ingredient. It also is a component of my ultimate grilled cheese: traditional french bread slices, brie, onions carmalized in bacon drippings, and thin slices of honeycrisp apples. C’est delicieux!

Erin Renee
October 21, 2011 at 12:45 amMy favorite thing to do with apples in the fall is to make vegan chai pumpkin bread. Adding chai mix to a regular pumpkin bread recipe and using applesauce to replace the eggs (therefore “vegan”). Sometimes I add walnuts, sometimes dried cherries, and sometimes I dice up apples and add those to the mix as well, for even more apple flavour. It’s the most amazing collection of fall flavours in your mouth.

My favorite way to use apples in the fall is definitely making apple butter with my grandpap. Its a family tradition (that i’m super bummed to be missing this year). Since I’m in GA and not at home, I’ll be getting apples to bake a variety of things, but most certainly a pie.

Anna
October 20, 2011 at 10:39 pmAn hour ago I would have said apple butter, but that was when the pot on the stove was happily bubbling away and not the Mt. Vesuvius that’s already made me run for the tube of burn cream twice. I must say the house smells amazing, but next time? I’m sticking to good old apple pie! Great giveaway, by the way, thanks!

Brandi Koskie
October 20, 2011 at 9:35 pmI love to thinly slice apples (honeycrisp when in season) and put them in a very hot skillet with a little evoo and balsamic vinegar and sautee them until just before they wilt, keeping a bit of crunch. Then I put them on top of simply grilled boneless pork chops (Kosher salt, cracked black pepper). It’s very sweet and savory and an easy way to add an extra serving of fruit!
Erin Renee
October 21, 2011 at 12:46 amThis sounds like a yummy idea!
doniree | nomadicfoodie
October 20, 2011 at 9:34 pmThis is really pretty simple, but my favorite way to use apples in the fall/winter is this: cooked, on the stove top with some butter and brown sugar and then added to oatmeal. It’s so hearty, so warm, and so cozy for those cooler mornings!
