Every Fall, we love to go apple picking. It’s so much fun!
When we get home, you can’t beat the fresh apples, fresh apple cider, and the smell of cinnamon and brown sugar cooking! I love to get the whole family involved peeling and slicing apples to make apple butter, applesauce, and a Dutch apple pie topped with ice cream.
We also love to make thinly sliced apple chips to have for school snacks – and who doesn’t love to snack on juicy apples? We love apple slices with almond butter, peanut butter, homemade Greek yogurt, and homemade caramel.
Recipe Tip
Be sure to coat your apple slices with fresh lemon juice so they don’t turn brown!

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of apples are best for baking?
I like Granny Smith (Green Apples), Fuji, Gala Apples, and Cortland. I use Granny Smith apples almost all the time when I bake with apples.
Can you freeze apples?
Yes, but freezing apples changes their texture. Frozen apples will be softer when they are thawed. I like to use frozen apples in smoothies, applesauce, and apple butter. (I also like to pre-make pie filling and freeze it. Just dump it in a pie crust, add another on top, and you have a delicious dessert!)
