Fall Fest: An Apple Celebration

September 29, 2010 by Nicole 46 Comments

Peeled Apples

Fall Fest continues and my favorite fruit has taken center stage this week.  I was hoping to make an apple pie in time for the celebration, but I’m in the middle of moving (yes, again!) and it just didn’t happen.  Luckily, I have plenty of delicious apple recipes to share with you, including an easy and delicious Apple Galette and my favorite Sourdough Stuffing with Apples and Bacon.

I’ll be back soon, cooking and writing from yet another new kitchen, and I promise that a real apple pie is on the way.  I hope you’ll enjoy some of my favorite apple recipes in the meantime.  Also, make sure to check out the links at the bottom of this post, my Fall Fest friends are sharing some really delicious apple recipes this week! And, as always, we’d love you to share your favorite apple recipes by leaving a comment with a description and/or link to the recipe.

How You Can Join Fall Fest 2010

Fall Fest!Welcome to Fall Fest!  Have a recipe or tip that fits any of our weekly themes? You can contribute to our online recipe swap in various ways, big or small.

Contribute a whole post, or a comment—whatever you wish. It’s meant to be fun, viral, fluid. No pressure, just delicious. Simply leave your tip or recipe or favorite links in the comments below a Fall Fest post on my blog, and then go visit my collaborators and do the same.

The cross-blog event idea works best when you leave your recipe or favorite links (whether to your own blog or someone else’s) at all the host blogs. Yes, copy and paste them everywhere! That way, they are likely to be seen by the widest audience. Everyone benefits, and some pretty great dialog starts simmering.

Or think bigger: Publish entire posts of your own, if you wish, and grab the Fall Fest 2010 pumpkin badge (illustrated by Matt of Matt Bites).

    For Fall Fest: Our early apple picking led to some great treats at our house. My post on apples has three great recipes, apple muffins for the kids, an ooey gooey cake that is to die for, and a traditional apple pie. There is one more idea on there waiting to come to life, a frozen apple pie filling. Happy Apple Crunching! http://purplecook.blogspot.com/2010/09/apple-picking.html

    I always seem to be one week off of fall fest! I should really pay more attention! Last week I made this wonderful apple cake. I took it to work and it was done before lunch (I only work with six other people!) http://wildeinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-love-you-apples.html Looking forward to your apple pie recipe, I love a good apple pie. Mmm, with ice cream...

    I also wanted to make a pie but didn't get to it! Instead I made some brie, apple, and arugula quesadillas: http://4seasonsoffood.blogspot.com/2010/09/brie-apple-and-arugula-quesadillas.html All your apple recipes look very tempting...

    Amazing timing! What have I been baking this morning? Apple cinnamon bran muffins! They're cooling on the counter right now. I've already had one as my late-morning snack and they're delicious! Lots of local apple love, hand-picked by my at the orchard down the road, went into these babies: http://muffinegg.wordpress.com/2010/09/29/apple-cinnamon-bran-muffins/ I think I'll be making your Apple Galette for dessert tonight!

    I like my apples raw. I was looking for recipes so I could participate this week and nothing appealed to me. But your Curried Turkey Salad with Apples, Cranberries and Walnuts looks fabulous so maybe I'll try cooking with apples soon!

    We used to take our kids up to the Santa Ynez Valley when they were younger to pick apples. Now that they’re older and busy with other activities, it’s more difficult to find the time. It’s unfortunate, because we really enjoyed doing it. The apples from that region are some of the best I’ve ever tasted (right on par with the wines). I can’t think of a better way to spend an autumn weekend than to go wine tasting and apple picking with the family! I haven’t had the time yet this year to write an apple post, but here are a few from the past with recipes that are sure to please every apple lover out there. Apple Gouda Quesadillas with Spicy (Spiked) Cider: http://www.wineimbiber.com/index.php/2008/10/trader-joes-tuesday4/ Chipotle Apple Pecan Cake with the most sublime Spicy Caramel Glaze: http://www.wineimbiber.com/index.php/2008/10/sugar-and-spice-and-everything-nice Apple-Almond Upside Down Cake: http://www.wineimbiber.com/index.php/2008/10/an-apple-a-day

    I hope everything goes well getting settled into your new kitchen. All the recipes sounds great but I think the one that caught my eye was the stuffing with bacon! Those flavor combos make me dance~ ~Chef Louise
