APPLE MOJITO

Credit: Courtesy chasingdelicious.com

When mojitos became supertrendy a few years ago, the apple version quickly became a favorite and has remained so. The Chasing Delicious blog’s libation gets its fruitiness from an apple juice reduction, which provides a subtle taste. Want more of an apple kick? Try substituting apple-flavored rum.

APPLE PIE BISCUITS

If you've ever made biscuits that came out of the oven smelling great but had the texture of a baseball, follow blogger Joy the Baker's advice and use self-rising flour to make these cinnamon-spiced Fuji apple biscuits. This type of flour has a lower-protein content, which delivers light and fluffy goods.

APPLE SLAB PIE

With its higher crust-to-filling ratio, a slab pie is a crust lover's dream come true. Deb of Smitten Kitchen created a crust that's especially flaky and buttery and totally deserving of the pie's sweet filling: apples scented with cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice, the triple crown of baking spices.

APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUTS

Never settle for one flavored doughnut if you can have three. When Rachel, the blogger behind Baked By Rachel, made her first-ever batch of apple cider doughnuts, she prepared them three ways: plain, with cinnamon-sugar and topped with caramel icing. No wonder her family gobbled them up quickly! We'd happily match them bite for bite.

APPLE PIE PANCAKES

Imagine starting your day with pancakes that taste like apple pie. Blogger Averie, of Averie Cooks, came up with a simple recipe – just throw a grated apple into pancake batter spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves and put your griddle to work. To make the pancakes more pie-ish, she topped her stack with vanilla maple syrup and vanilla maple butter. And she promises, "Your house definitely will smell like fall after making a batch of these."

CARAMELIZED APPLE & GORGONZOLA PIZZA

Credit: Courtesy sallysbakingaddiction.com

This isn't the usual slice from your local pizza joint. Gorgonzola cheese subs for mozzarella, rosemary for basil, and apples instead of mushrooms or other topping. And – surprise! – there’s no tomato sauce but there is a touch of honey. “It’s not weird, I promise,” says Sally of Sally’s Baking Addiction. “It is like nothing you’ve ever tasted before.” Sweet and salty in each bite? We’ll take two slices to go, please!

APPLE CIDER CHICKEN STEW

Credit: Courtesy ironstef.com

“Time for roasting chickens and drinking cider and making soups and stews,” says Stephanie on her Iron Stef blog. We couldn’t agree more! Her stew calls for basic essentials like carrots, celery and onions, but it’s the little extras she threw into the pot – bacon, ginger, coriander and nutmeg – that make this hearty dish a standout.

Looking for elegant comfort food? Try this pork loin with caramelized apples dish that, according to Giulia of the Juls’ Kitchen blog, caresses your senses and soothes what worries you. “As with any self-respecting pork roast,” she says, “the meat is well browned on the outside, with a warm and reassuring hue, while inside is juicy and soft.” Her preferred way of cooking the pork: in a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop.

ACORN SQUASH WITH APPLE STUFFING

Credit: Courtesy happilyunprocessed.com

Debi of Happily Unprocessed blog “thought it would be nice to combine the crisp crunch of the apples, the delicate taste of sage in the sausage and tartness of the cranberries with the sweetness of an acorn squash.” We think “nice” hardly begins to describe this delectable dish, which she married with her go-to bread stuffing recipe.

CARROT AND APPLE SLAW

A great side dish for burgers and sammies is slaw – this version is full of flavor and color, thanks to carrots, Granny Smith apples and raisins. Aubrey of the Real Housemoms blog describes her dish as “sweet and a tad sour.” She uses rice wine vinegar but suggests apple cider vinegar if you prefer a dressing that’s less sweet but still packed with flavor.

STRAWBERRY APPLESAUCE

Commercially prepared applesauce in a jar may be convenient but it doesn't compare to the homemade kind. Making it yourself takes only about 20 minutes and tastes a thousand times better. (And oh, the glorious texture!) Add strawberries and cinnamon and you’ve got a healthy snack in a fetching color that Cathy of Lemon Tree Dwelling likes to hand out as gifts.

The question: “What is a girl to do when she has 25 apples to use up and very little free time?” For Lauren of the blog A Full Measure of Happiness, the answer is make apple butter. She put the fruit, plus cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, cloves, water and sugar in a slow cooker for nearly 24 hours and when she woke up in the morning, “my every apple butter dream had come true.” Try it with toast, oatmeal and yogurt for your own dreamy satisfaction.
