We soon have the dehydrator going round the clock and a freezer full of pre-made pies and applesauce. Our apples are pretty tart, and more of a cooking apple than an eating apple, so I'm always looking for new recipes.
We tried http://noblepig.com/2008/04/01/an-unfair-advantage.aspx the other day, and it is really good, especially the next day. I think we've both been munching on it every time we go past.
Soon we will try
http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/02/apple_dumplings/
which I have on good authority is far too tasty for anyone's good.

| #2 Posted on 8.10.08 2043.34 | Instant Rating: 6.13 | I've been making something I've been calling 'Vermont fried rice' a lot recently. It's just the normal fried rice procedure with apples and onions. Right before serving, when the bowl is still steaming, I mix in some chunks of sharp cheddar. I try not to have it be hot enough that the cheese will fully melt, but that's hard to judge. It's good either way.
I've added other various vegetables, but they crowd out the apples too much. A few dried cranberries isn't bad though. And I do add a bit of soy sauce when sauteing the apples and onions. Sounds weird, but if you don't overdo it, it totally works.

Dip pretzel rods and enjoy. My brother smears the concoction on graham crackers and adds raisins.

I think I've just got a thing for apples and cheddar.

| #15 Posted on 20.10.08 0949.07 | Butternut Apple Soup
1 large or 2 medium Butternut Squash peeled & diced
(about 3 to 4 cups)
1 2 Granny Smith Apples diced
(I used 1 last time but will use 2 next time)
1 sweet onion diced
1 potato peeled & diced
2 stalks of celery diced
1 leek chopped
(I used green onions because I forgot the leek at the store)
cup margarine
4 cups of vegetable broth
cup of apple cider (optional)
1 teaspoon of Cumin
teaspoon of Nutmeg
teaspoon of ginger
Salt & Pepper
DIRECTIONS
Saute the butternut squash, apples, onion, celery, potato & leek with the cup of margarine, salt & pepper until the onion is translucent
Add spices and stir to coat
Add 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
Cook until squash chunks are tender & soft
Puree in a blender and or food processor until smooth. Return to pot. I use the apple cider at this point to get the last of the pureed soup out of the blender of food processor.
You can serve with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt but I didnt bother. It was even better the next day when the flavors had a chance to meld a little more. I even ate some cold.
