But, I've found a pretty good reason to be cheerful: It's September, which means brisk, sunny autumn days are right around the corner. And that means tasty, apple-filled treats will soon be taking over the kitchen.
Bring home a bushel (or three) and try one of these yummy recipes:
Cranberry, Apple and Pecan Crumble
Easy to make and fill with your favorite fruits and nuts.
Apple-Pear-Cranberry Pie
A fan favorite, and a stunning addition to your holiday dessert table.
Applesauce
You'll never buy jarred again.
Baked Stuffed Apples
A great way to use up all of those apples!
Potted Potatoes and Cabbage with Bacon and Apples
A perfect meal for a chilly day.
Beignets aux Pommes, Coulis de Fruit (Apple Fritters with Fruit Purée)
From my FCI days -- a real treat.
What are your favorite apple recipes?
