15 x Apple Recipes for Fall

Apples and fall go hand in hand if you ask me. Apple can be used in so many different ways. From baking the most delicious apple pies to adding chunks of apple to a simple salad. Or - if you have a whole lot of apples - you can turn it into jam or chutney and keep it for much longer. In this roundup with 15 easy apple recipes you'll find it all!

Fall is one of my favorite season! And not in the least because it also means an abundance of apple recipes to make. Now granted; you can buy apples all year long, but they is something so comforting about the smell of an apple pie in the oven that belongs to fall if you ask me.

Recipes with Apple

In the below round-up you will find some of my favorite apple recipes; ranging from a traditional Dutch apple pie to mackerel salad with beetroot and apple. And if you want to browse more apple recipes you can find them here.

Which apple you use is entirely depending on where you live. Here in the Netherlands we have apples that appear only during fall, mainly the Goudreinet (Golden Rennet) which is less suitable for eating as a snack but really perfect for baking an apple pie. But also apples like pinklady, Jonagold or Kanzi are all perfect for adding to recipes. If you live in the US apples like braeburn, Honeycrisp or PinkLady are usually good bets for most recipes. At the end of the day it depends on your personal preference and the type of apple is less important than the actual taste.
