Take Advantage of the Abundance of Apples This Fall With These Delicious Apple Recipes

Even though apples are a year-round favorite, they seem to be especially popular in the late Summer, early Fall.  In many parts of the country, we are coming in to apple harvest.  Here are some great recipes to help you enjoy this popular and healthy fruit.  Baked Apple Pudding is a wonderful combination of apples, cinnamon and walnuts that is absolutely wonderful made into a pudding and served warm with whipped cream or ice cream.  What a wonderful treat!  A wonderful friend taught me to make this many years ago.  The Cream Apples is an old recipe from my German heritage.

CREAM APPLES

My maiden name is Sowders, so you can see I have German roots. This is an old German recipe.

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
6 large apples, pared and cored
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 egg
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup finely ground almonds

In a large covered skillet, combine the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with the water. Arrange the apples in the liquid and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes or until apples are just tender. Remove the apples from the liquid and refrigerate them. Just before serving: Heat the heavy cream to lukewarm. Beat the egg until thick then gradually beat in the 1/3 cup of sugar and the lukewarm cream. Add the ground almonds. Pour over the apples.

Yields six servings.

Enjoy!
