A favorite autumn fruit falls far from the tree
Autumn is the time of apples in their greatest profusion, variety and freshness. Like so many foods, they have been commoditized to the point where we expect access to them year round, but truly fall is their time to shine, in all their green and red and yellow and russet crispness. Each variety embodies a particular flavor and texture, which of course influences the role they play in cookery. The following recipes are meant to highlight and celebrate this commonest of fruits in uncommon ways.
Olliebollen
This is a riff on an old Dutch recipe that Jess’ mother used to make for a special after-school treat.
White Bean Apple Chili
This classic stew is perhaps best suited for fall, when the air gets a bit crisp and you crave a cozy bowl of something hearty.
Savory Apple Chips
Are you one of those people who are always on the hunt for the perfect sweet to savory to salty ratio in your snacking sessions?
