Apple and Maple Caramel Cheesecake
Is there anything better than cheesecake for dessert? Rich, creamy, and sweet, the cheesecake stands out as one of my all-time favorites. Cream cheese, caramel, pecans, and maple syrup are a natural combination. Sinfully delicious, this dessert is perfect for entertaining special guests or as a treat for your family.
Oatmeal Apple Pancakes
Not your ordinary pancakes! Oatmeal apple pancakes are chewy, nutty, and sweet. Full of flavor, both adults and kids will love this morning treat. They're also more nutritious than your typical pancakes.
Grilled "Baked" Apples with Walnuts and Cream
Your home grill is a great way to cook apples. This recipe calls for McIntosh apples but Rome Beauty, Golden Delicious, or Empire will work just fine.
Fall Fruit Salad with Apples, Pears, and Cranberries
Fall brings us a bounty of delicious fruits. Apples, pears, and cranberries make a wonderful combination. Both tart and sweet, this salad make a great salad to start a meal or can be used as a side dish to accompany chicken or pork.
Apple and Brie Soup
This rich, velvety soup brings together the classic combination of brie and fresh apples. A delightful starter to any meal, the addition of bread makes this soup into a meal itself.
Apple Cider Sorbet
Sorbets are much easier to make than ice creams and generally more flavorful. As an added bonus, they are usually fat-free or, at least, low fat. Apple sorbets are normally tart. I use apple cider instead of juice to give it a richer flavor. Adding rum gives the sorbet a more complicated taste.
Cheddar and Apple Clafouti with Maple Creme Anglaise and Cider Sauce
Clafouti is a traditional dessert made of fruit covered with a thick batter and baked until puffy. Apples and cheddar cheese are a classic combination that create a mouthwatering dessert suitable for a family dinner or special occasions. This dessert can be served hot or cold.
Gingerbread Waffles with Apple & Vanilla Bean Compote
Gingerbread waffles are a wonderful treat for that special occasion or weekend brunch. The enticing aroma will fill your kitchen with hungry guests. Add some fresh apple vanilla bean compote and you have a gourmet breakfast that belongs in the best restaurants. Scrumptious!
Chicken with Prosciutto and Gruyere Cheese with Apple-Pomegranate Reli
A Swedish favorite, falukorv is a lightly smoked, thick (two to three inches in diameter), boiled sausage, similar to ring bologna. This chicken recipe uses cheese, mustard, and apples to re-create the flavors of this classic sausage dish.
Cider Glazed Roasted Root Vegetable Stew
This is a hearty stew full of flavor. Roasting the vegetables creates an extra depth of flavor. Low-fat and nutritious are added bonuses to this very delicious meal.
