It’s apple season and I want to share two delicious recipes with you from my new apple cookbook that are tailor-made for cooking with kids.
Sauteed apples are good to serve with ham, sausage, or pork. They are really easy to make and are good on their own as well. Any of these apples will work well: Rome, Jonagold, Granny Smith, Pippin Gold, Braeburn, Northern Spy, Gravenstein, Rhode Island Greening, York Imperial, and Cortland.
Sauteed Apples
2 teaspoons butter
2 firm, tart apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4 inch thick
Pinch of cinnamon, if desired
1. In a large skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; add apples.
2. Cook, stirring constantly, until apples are almost tender (about 5-7 minutes).
Appaloosa Delight
No, this is not horse related. Appaloosa horses are known for their beauty and
performance. This apple drink is known for adding sparkle and joy to your life.
1/2 cup apple juice
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 ice cubes
1. Mix all in blender on high until ice is melted.
2. Pour into glasses and serve immediately
Enjoy apple season with your kids!
