Apples, anyone?

If, like me, you find that your weekend plans include a trip to the Orchard, and you know that the result of said trip will be more apples than you currently know what to do with (because the only really good apple crisp recipe you had disappeared years ago and you have yet to find a replacement, and the boy you married doesn’t eat pie, or whatever your reasons might be), here are some possible ways to eat those apples (most, if not all, found via TasteSpotting):

• Apple Turnovers
• Apple Crumble for an Army – might it be possible for this to replace my lost apple crisp recipe? I hope so!
• Almond Apple Cake
• Mock Apple Pie (in case you don’t actually have any apples at home)
• Apple Blondies (second recipe down)
• Mini Apple Pies (how cute!)
• Apple Crumble (if the earlier recipe doesn’t work, perhaps this one will)
• Spicy Apple Raspberry Crisps
• Apple and Macadamia Nut Crumble (love the addition of macadamia nuts – definitely will have to try this one)
• Spiced Apple Crunch (oh, at this point, I just can’t decide which one to make first!)
• Apple and Cider Beignets (should I really try deep frying again? Maybe I should get a thermometer first)

Did I mention that not only does not like fruit pie (I really only like apple pie – all the rest of the fruit pies are yech), he doesn’t really like baked fruit at all? So, um, I might be eating all the apples myself. Sweetie, if you’re reading (which you probably aren’t, having been quite busy lately), could you let me know which ones of the above you might eat, if any?

and , I hope you’re taking notes, since you’ll soon be in the same predicament as me….

I’ve got another backup of recipe links to share that I should get a handle on (wasn’t that nice for a while when they were auto-posting for me, because I’d done them all up in advance? Oh, the joys of WordPress…). Stay tuned.
