Apple's are the gem of fall fruits. They can be used in both sweet and savory dishes and add a touch of dimension to any meal. It is important to note that not all apples are created equally so taste each varietal and see which one is best suited for the dish you are preparing. I tend to lean toward more tart apples when making desserts and enjoy an apple with a little more sweetness with foods like pork chops - it is all about balancing flavors. I skipped the traditional apple pie and apple crumble and focused on other ways you can incorporate apples into your cooking. Don't forget about applesauce and homemade cider too other ways to savor this seasonal beauty.
