10 Tips for Ways To Use Apples

Here are some useful ways to use apples:

• Baking apples include Granny Smith, McIntosh and Rome. These tend to be great for baking but not so good for eating unbaked. I like to keep apples like Gala, Jonathan and Golden Delicious on hand because you can eat them or bake with them.
• Red Delicious Apples are usually used for eating, but I have used them in a pinch in baking. Red Delicious apples become much softer when cooked, but since I like my apples sweet and very soft when cooked, that doesn’t bother me.
• When you have a partially eaten apple, save the good part and chop it into pieces. Place in a microwave safe dish. Blend together 1 tsp. each brown sugar, flour, oatmeal and margarine and a dash of cinnamon. Top the apple with the topping and microwave until tender.
• When making baked apples, you can put all kinds of things in the center, including candied pineapple, orange peel, ginger, peaches, berries, raisins, honey, corn syrup and even marshmallows.
• Core and slice apples very thin. Dehydrate and use in granola, eat alone or soften in warm water to use in recipes.
• Slice apples and use in Pancakes or waffles.
• To freeze apples: Peel, slice and core. Then store in 2 cup portions in freezer bags.
• Use soft apples in cooking. Just because they’re not crisp enough to be desirable doesn’t man they’re bad.
• Cut apples into small pieces and add to salads with a fruit based dressing.
• To keep apples crisp, keep them in the fridge to help them stay crisp.
• When you can, eat the peel on your apple. That is where 2/3 of the fiber is found.
