My kitchen is brimming with apples, and the choices abound as to what I’ll do with them:
1. Make applesauce
2. Make apple pie or cobbler
3. Make apple cookies
4. Make apple bread
5. Bake apples
6. Dry apples
7. Slice and eat for snacks
8. Chop and freeze for oatmeal topping
9. Feed apples to Coconut, our expectant miniature donkey
10. Feed apples to the goats, Oatmeal and Little Bit
I’ve accomplished nearly all of the above, and I must admit that 9. and 10. are some of my favorite things to do!
Aside from that, I almost forgot about the delicious apple salad I made last night for guests and my favorite apple/pumpkin/Craisen muffins.
You’ll find those two recipes in this blog post so you can try them with your fall apples as well. Join me as we praise the Lord for His provisions and abundantly beautiful bounty.
“As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat, summer and winter,
day and night will never cease.”
Genesis 8:22

Apple Salad
4 large apples, cubed
lemon juice for tossing apple cubes
1/3 c Miracle Whip or mayo
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 celery stalks sliced thin
1/2 c Craisens
1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
1/2 chopped pecans
Toss apple cubes with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown. In a separate bowl, mix mayo and brown sugar. Combine remaining ingredients and stir into the mayo mix so everything is evenly coated. Place in a pretty bowl, cover and refrigerate prior to serving 5-7 people.
Apple-Pumpkin-Craisen Muffins
2.5 cups flour
1.5 cups sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 15-oz can pumpkin
1/4 c olive oil
1/2 c applesauce
1 c peeled and diced apples
1 c Craisens
In a large bowl, mix the first seven ingredients. In separate bowl, mix remaining ingredients and add to the flour mixture. Line muffin tins with paper cups and fill 2/3. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, adding minutes if necessary until done. Cool and remove from pan. Store in airtight container. Makes 18 muffins.
