Apple Cooking Ideas and Tips

The tart taste of an apple is best for cooking. Sweeter apples are preferred for snacking and for salads.

Use apple juice or cider to glaze turkey, ham or chicken

Poach fish fillets in apple juice or cider

Mix mayonnaise with equal parts of apple juice and use as a dressing for fruit, ham, chicken or turkey salads

Mix sour cream and apple juice with chopped herbs to make dip for raw vegetables

Use apple juice instead of liquid in recipes for corn muffins, biscuits, breads, rolls, pancakes, waffles and omelets.

Fold apple juice thickened with cornstarch into whipped topping with finely chopped fruits and nuts for an easy parfait.

For fast and healthy syrup for pancakes, waffles or French toast, thicken heated apple juice with cornstarch and lemon juice.

When cooking with apples, remember these facts:

Three, medium apples equal one pound of apples 3 cups of diced apples, and 2-3/4 cup of sliced apples

One pound of apples equal: four small apples, three medium apples, two large apples and/or 1-1/2 cup applesauce
