One of the most basic fall activities is apick pple. It’s the best excuse we know to treat yourself to a warm cider donut and a cup of cider as a reward for choosing all of these galas, Gravensteins and Granny Smiths. But all of these apples mean you’re going to need apple recipes.
It’s safe to say we all have come home with a huge basket of all sorts of apples – but fresh off the plan. If you find yourself in the post-apple-picking shock of what can you do with all these apples Remember that we have your back to spare. (And also keep in mind that freshly picked apples will stay in your cold fridge longer than store-bought apples because they have traveled fewer miles.)
Put this item aside for your next apple picking adventure. You’ll want to fill your kitchen – and your stomach – with these delicious and healthy apple recipes.
Like a cake, a galette has a flaky crust with a delicious filling. The difference? A cake is more structured and often (but not always) has a top and a bottom crust. A galette is free shaped and rustic and is usually open. Basically, a galette is a cake for lazy men. . . and some days it’s all about Especially this one, which also happens to be Paleo.

Granted, this recipe isn’t as * sexy * as some of the others on the list, but we have our reasons. Many store-bought applesauce contains flavorings, sugar, or preservatives. Homemade applesauce is healthier and tastier. Our advice? Make a large amount and freeze some applesauce for future use.
