As much as it's hard to beat the juicy crunch that comes with biting into an apple straight out of hand, I think we can all agree that the real fun is getting those crisp apples into the kitchen. There are endless possibilities for fall's favorite fruit — they really can be baked and cooked every which way.
Things like apple pie, cake, and crumble are classic, but that's really just the start when it comes to possibilities. Apples happen to play just as well in savory recipes, too, like salads, sandwiches, and soups.
If baking is at the top of your list, remember that some varieties are better than others. Crisp, firm Honeycrisps, Granny Smith, Jonagolds, and Cortlands are a few of the best apples for baking because they won't fall apart in the oven and have a balance of sweet-tart flavor.
From sweet treats to savory meals, we're sharing over 30 apple recipes that will help you make the most of your haul.
