An apple a day keeps the doctor away! And when the apple is added to a cake or bread, does it still apply? We say YES!!! Most apples are a little tart and sweet, but neither of those characteristics are overpowering. Which makes apples a perfect addition to any recipe, whether it is a bread, cake, or pie, the results are always sensational! That is why we have compiled a collection of our most incredible apple recipes ever. See our pick of most popular apple pies, apple crisps, how to freeze apples, dry apples, and everything in between!
Tips for baking with Apples:
What is the best type of apple to bake with?
There are many types of apples to choose from and although they are all delicious on their own, when baking some hold up better than others. I have tried many (as you can see from the list below) and my all time favorite truly is Granny Smith green apples. They are in every store and easy to find, they are crispy and hold their form well when they have been cooked down. Another type that is a good choice to use is the McIntosh Red apple, this is the green and red apple you see all the time. These hold up well and have delicious flavor too. As for the lovely red apples, they are delicious to eat raw, but when baking them they tend to fall apart and loose flavor.
How do I prevent my apples from turning brown while cooking?
If you have ever baked an apple pie and by the time you are putting the apples in they have turned brown, you are not alone. Even just the sight of the smallest brown spot I get annoyed, they turn fast! I’ve found a trick that helps stops the enzyme that is resposible for the oxidation, in layman terms…turning brown. If you stir 2 table spoons of honey into 1 cup of water and soak the apple slices in the mixture for 30 seconds. This method will not affect the apple’s taste either so it is a win win.
How do I peel an Apple?
Many recipes for apples require that you core and peel them. There are a variety of ways to do this, and they’re all simple!
If you’re just peeling & coring a few apples at a time: I like to use a basic vegetable peeler, plus an apple slicer that cuts apples into 16 pieces. These smaller slices are better for baking as the apple cooks faster since they’re smaller slices. That way the crust/cake or whatever you’re baking apples into isn’t too dark before the apples are done cooking!
If you’ve got a large batch of apples to cook: If you use a lot of apples, you probably should consider getting one of these handy peeler corer slicers. You can peel, core & slice half a bushel in about 15 minutes with this tool!

Basic Apple Pie (incredible!!)
I searched the Internet for a good recipe, but didn’t want something loaded with sugar, so I came up with my own. It worked out great! The only thing is, despite using several tablespoons of corn starch, the juice didn’t thicken much at all! The apples taste delicious though, so I consider it a success. Here’s what I used:
My plan was to use my Food Saver to make pouches of apples, to eat over the next year or so, but each time I make a batch they disappear! Note: you can reuse the pieces of parchment paper several times!
We hope you enjoy this compellation of our best and favorite apple recipes. Try making one, or two, or five and treat yourself to some incredible treats with this popular and favorite fruit!
