Sweet and Savory Apple Recipes

“This is a recipe I made up years ago, playing around with different ingredients. My family and friends love this recipe and even my son Aaron, a chef in Alaska, wanted to know what I put in it.” – Norma

“Make this the night before you want to serve this, and save yourself the hassle in the morning. The flavors mingle and get more pronounced if they sit overnight. Everyone loves waking up while the French toast is baking in the oven. I make chicken sausage and scrambled eggs to go with it.” – A

“I am 55 years old. My mom has been gone for 3 years. Ever since I can remember, every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and family reunion, Mom baked her fresh apple cake in a big old Bundt pan. I have to say, growing up, this was not my favorite. Anyone who ever tasted it wanted the recipe, but Mom would not give it out. I have all her cookbooks in which she wrote her special recipes that she did not share with anyone. One day, about 6 months after her death, I started reading her cookbooks. I found all of her secret recipes and a love letter my dad had written while dating. What an inheritance!” – Barbara

“I make these pancakes very often. They are really good with whipped cream. I got this recipe from my sister.” – Aleksandra

“I just made this for the first time the other day. It was awesome! So simple and tasty, it’s a favorite now.” – Erica

“This combination is inspired by the Cape Codder (cranberries) and a classic New England fall activity (apple picking). The tartness from the cranberries and sweetness from the apples pair well with the sharp cheddar.” – Christine

“Pulled bbq pork…good…apple pie…good…grilled cheese…good…put them all together – a little slice of heaven. Sweet and smoky pulled pork with spiced baked apples and sharp white cheddar cheese grilled to perfection. This idea came about by trying to come up with a new way to enjoy leftover pulled pork barbeque and it turned out great!

“These Snickerdoodle Apple Pie Bars combine a cookie and a pie, so you have the best of both worlds. Full of apples and cinnamon, perfect for fall” – Debbie

“Rarely do I not have this made and in my refrigerator. When a craving for something sweet raises its ugly head, this recipe is a good fix. It is a great side for any type of breakfast and is absolutely delicious with pork or chicken. Serve it hot or cold–either way, it is wonderful.” – Brenda

“This recipe gives an apple pie a healthy makeover! It replaces refined sugars, unhealthy fats, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream with nutritious syrupy apples on top of a whole grain toast covered with creamy (and protein-rich) ricotta cheese. My daughter loves to wake up to the sight of this apple pie on her breakfast plate. Both my husband and I love this quick, easy, and absolutely mouthwatering treat as well.” – Anna

“I started out to create a pie, and quickly remembered that I don’t like to make pie crust! So when all was complete, I decided I had a cobbler. This is not too sweet but is rich and spiced.” – Cindy

“This recipe is from a true Southern lady who made this for our family in my childhood days, and I’m sure many more times. Super yummy and a great way to get that apple a day. The whole family loves this wonderful taste of my childhood in the South!” – Debbie

“Some people don’t like Brussels sprouts, but I happen to love them. And this recipe will make a believer out of anyone. I always make it for Thanksgiving and other special dinners.” – Susan

“This pancake is so good. In fact, it is more like a custard than cake and a wonderful breakfast delight. It puffs up nicely in the oven and then as you let it set, it absorbs all of the butter, sugar, and cinnamon that is on the bottom layer. You can sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top, or even a drizzle of honey or syrup but, I find this wonderfully sweet (although not overpowering) as it is and really does not need it.” – Barbara

“This apple butter is made in a Crock Pot, it takes about 12 hours so I prepare it in the evening, and by morning it’s done. It is well worth the wait. There is nothing like homemade! You can add more sugar (up to 4 cups) but I like mine just a little tart but still sweet. I don’t think I would use more than 2 cups even if the apples are tart.” – Gail

“This pork roast is delicious. A little sweet and savory at the same time. I served it with my homemade applesauce.” – Michelle

“There are so many ways to prepare this. You can use bread stuffing or pork sausage stuffing. I prefer seasoned bread stuffing, as stuffing pork with more pork would be too over the top for me.” – Renee

“My ex loved curry, so I played with this recipe until it suited our tastes. This has a wonderful curry flavor and is so good. I don’t like recipes that say they are curry, and you can hardly taste the curry in it. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.” – Dee

“I did some experimenting in the kitchen today. This turned out to be a great hit with the whole family!” – Cindy

“A quick and easy chicken skillet with apples in a creamy sauce.” – Kevin
