I'm looking for some tried and true apple recipes. My DH loves apple desserts so I thought that I would ask if you would share your favs with me.

Thanks!

In our house apple crumble is a favourite and a crumble can be made with various things usually what I have on hand.
1/2 Plain flour, 2 tabs coconut, 2 tabs sugar, 2 tabs of quick oats, a tab of margarine and mix with fingers to crumble. Play with it.
I also add any crunched up stale biscuits/cookies if I have any to use up. The apple can have spices and sultanas/raisins.

The crumble can also be frozen so if you make a double batch there is plenty for a quick dessert next time.

Another for apple is to put pie apple on the bottom of a glass baking dish and pour a vanilla cake mix on top to about an inch or inch and a half deep then bake as usual.
(any left over mixed cake batter gets made up into little cakes and frozen)

Serve both with custard or ice cream.

Apple Dumplings
Ingredients:

• 2-1/2 cups water
• 1-1/4 cups sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup plus 6 teaspoons butter, divided
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup shortening
• 1/2 cup milk
• 6 small tart apples, peeled and cored
• Cinnamon-sugar
• Additional milk

Directions:

In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar and cinnamon. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup butter; stir until melted. Remove from the heat; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk.
Divide pastry into six portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 6-in. square. Place an apple on the center of each. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar; dot with remaining butter. Bring corners of pastry to center. Brush edges with milk; pinch edges to seal.
Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; drizzle with reserved syrup. Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 6 servings.

Madmum, cheese and apple, what kind of cheese and do you really taste it or does it serve another purpose? Interesting combo is all.

We use apple and cheese together quite a bit lol cottage cheese goes well with it but with the recipe above we generally use white chedder and it is there to taste.

The kids love the apple and cheese pizza

I make this one for the hubby he really likes it.
First peel the apples then cut them into a small pan add cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger(to your taste) Then put just a bit of water in the pan and cook the apples till tender. Remove from stove and pour over angel food cake.
That is it! Oh you can add a dolop of whip cream if you like or ice cream.

Here we just like cooked apples cooked with a little brown sugar and cinnamon, Sometimes I fix them for brakfast and we eat them over our pancakes or waffles.

Here is a tip in case you have to many apples this fall.

Freezing Apples
I peeled and sliced them like I would for a pie and froze them on cookie sheets so that they were loose. I put them in gallon bags and when I needed apples for a pie, I just used what I needed. The pies were delicious and no one ever guessed that the apples had been frozen.
