+ nycman Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 God, I hate apple picking. And there’s even more work after you get home….trying to get rid of them all. + sync and + azdr0710 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, it's slow to disappear - the pecan, lemon meringue and pumpkin pies get the most attention, and then somebody "discovers" my pie and its gone in no time. If it doesn't disappear, I just think "Oh well, more for me," and take it back home. pubic_assistance and samhexum 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhs Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 One of my seasonal faves is baked apples with prunes, which is a very old-fashioned, French grandmotherly kind of dessert. Cut the top inch off apples and core. Fill the inside of each with brown sugar, a bit of cinnamon, and a couple pitted prunes. Drizzle generously with brandy (calvados is great, if you have any lying around), top each with a cube of butter, and bake in a moderate oven until apples are soft, basting with the liquid that collects in the dish. + FrankR, Smokey, Luv2play and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dates work too. My mother would always cut through the skin of the apple (think of it as around the equator). Apparently it allows the flesh to expand or contract more easily as the fruit heats and cools. (Ed: Dates instead of the prunes, that is.) + FrankR, Mhs and MikeBiDude 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ed: Dates instead of the prunes, that is.) We had a neighbor when I was kid, an older couple whose kids were grown. They had baked apples for breakfast every morning, She baked them at night after dinner so they would be cold by morning and they had them with cream. She always did the thing of cutting the skin all the way around the apple. i know this because I used to stay over night with them a lot - they were my surrogate parents.

Epigonos Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I very much enjoy making applesauce. After I mill the hot apples I add Red Hots (Cinnamon Flavored Candy) to the sauce. They give it a great spicy cinnamon flavor and a really nice pink/red color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make some pork chops to go along with that, and you can invite Peter Brady over for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ bashful Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) My mom was a great baker of whatever was picked, or on sale. Wish I could tell you the recipe, but I never knew the ingredients. With apples, she made a cobbler type thing with I guess an oatmeal and brown sugar topping that came out crispy.
