As is the fall tradition, New Englanders have been stopping by their local farm to pick fresh apples. But this leads to the question, what can we do with all these apples? Check out the suggestions below for ways to turn your fresh picked apples into tasty snacks.
- Raw: Eating an apple whole or slicing the apple is a quick snack. Dipping those apple slices in peanut butter is delicious too.
- Paired with sharp cheddar cheese: Slicing the apples and placing cheddar cheese on top. This provides a sweet and savory flavor and a good crunch.
- Vinaigrette, walnuts, and apples: Slice apples into tiny cubes and crush some walnuts. Top with a berry vinaigrette for a quick snack.
- Baked cinnamon apple slices: Cutting apples into thin slices and tossing in cinnamon. Baking the apples until tender. This produces a warm, delicious snack.
- Apple Crisp Bars: Mix butter, sugar, oats, flour, and cinnamon. Place mixture in the bottom layer of the pan. Place cinnamon and sugar-coated sliced apples on top of the oat layer. Then, bake until it begins bubbling. Prep this in advance and take it on the move.
