5. Apple cake
Apples make a delectable cake, muffin or loaf. Try the Homemakers Test Kitchen's Apple Spelt Cake, a favourite of Gail Gordon Oliver at Edible Toronto Magazine, or try one of the following recipes:
- Fresh Apple Cake with Caramel Glaze
- Apple Orange Oat Bran Muffins
6. Apple pie
Apple pie deserves its name as the classic apple dessert -- and there's no comparing to a pie made with fresh, seasonal apples (but we won't tell if you buy the pie crust). Go for the simple apple-only-in-pie-crust version, or try one of these alternatives:
- Apple Rum Raisin Pie in Phyllo
- Rustic Apple, Pear and Cranberry Pie
- Apple Sour Cream Crumble Pie
7. Apples in savoury dishes
Don't limit yourself to sweets -- apples can be used in savoury dishes, as well; in fact, Elliot prefers them this way, and recipes in the main course section of her book include Chicken Normandy with Apple Demi-Glace, Sautéed Scallops on Green Apple Risotto and Apple Ricotta Lasagna with Béchamel and Fresh Herbs. Try these recipes for savoury dishes using apples:
- Roast Goose with Apple and Walnut Stuffing
- Savoury Apple and Onion Pie
- Chicken and Apple Sauté

8. Apples in salads
Elliot suggests tossing some chopped apples in your green salads for added flavour; dried apples would work as well. Or try the following recipes:
- Thai Tuna Salad
- Fennel and Apple Slaw
- Autumn Apple and Blue Cheese Salad
9. Apples in soup
Elliot and Lee are big fans of using apples in soup, for both flavour and texture. Some recipes to try:
- Quick Beef and Vegetable Borscht
- Gaspé Oyster and Apple Soup
- Curried Apple and Celery Soup
10. Apple desserts
Apples have a way of bringing a home-cooked feel to the most gourmet of desserts, whether they're used as a cheesecake topping, pastry filling or as an accompaniment to any number of dishes. The following recipes are sure to wow your guests:
- Apple Ricotta Cheesecake with Cornmeal Pastry Crust
- Apple Flan with Quatre Epices
- Apple Fig Bread Pudding with Maple Walnut Sauce
No matter how you cook your apples, make sure to enjoy them while they're fresh, and to branch out from your usual supermarket picks. There's a world of apple varieties out there just waiting to be tasted, and "the interesting thing is that each variety is distinctly different from the others," says Elliot. So go ahead, pick your favourite.
