Happy Fall everyone! My change in season was marked with a dear friend bringing me a 5 gallon pail of apples. Sound familiar? Right now my Facebook feed is filled with statuses asking who’s got some to spare and apple recipes – tis the season for apples right now!
I only had to think for a minute about what I was going to do with all these apples. I’m cooking most to make pie filling and then freeze individual portions for later. That way, when I feel like making pie, I’ll have the filling ready to go which is such a time and energy saver later.
To make apple pie filling: my friend suggests cooking a pot-full of {peeled, cored and sliced} apples with about 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 1/2 cups of water. After about 15-20 minutes of cooking, set it aside to cool. Then once cooled, spoon the mixture into zippered bags and freeze. Sounds easy enough, right? I’m going to try it!
I also had big plans on getting on that cozy sweater and settling in on the couch with
Maple Apple Crisp. It just screams ‘Autumn’, doesn’t it?
Usually I make my Apple Crisp with brown sugar and sometimes with caramel, yet this recipe includes maple syrup and it’s a delicious version. Definitely a must try! I love that this recipe makes enough for 2, and you can easily double the recipe to make more. About 5 minutes to prepare and 25 to cook – you’re enjoying Maple Apple Crisp in no time! Dollop with cool whip or vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
