Ingredient Spotlight: Apples

 

When it comes to seasonal ingredients, Autumn's apples win the prize. They are equally delicious served sweet or savory. This recipe roundup is picture proof that there are more ways to enjoy apples than just pie. But don't worry, scroll down for an awesome apple tart. Apples to apples, I think you will love this post.


Apple Cider Mojito 
Hello Fall! What a perfect September sip. Spiced, vibrant, and slightly sweet, it has all the flavors of a classic rum mojito plus a hefty pour of apple cider.

Baked Brie With Apples & Bacon
I am not much of a cheese eater, but I find warm brie rather irresistible. It's gooey, rich, sweet and salty. Just perfect with a fall cocktail. This is a must make.

Caramel Apple Upside Down Cake
Interesting recipe fact - this cake calls for olive oil and not butter for the fat. The oil delivers a smooth and rich flavor without weighing down the cake. The batter is poured over homemade caramel and apples. Sounds divine!

Salted Apple Pretzel Pie
This is a pie recipe for the salty sweet lovers. And who isn't one? Soft pretzel dough takes the place of crust. How unique!!

Arugula Apple, And Goats Cheese Flatbread
This recipe can be called "almost homemade." It calls for a store bought flatbread crust. The perfect thing to serve at your kitchen island for dinner guests.

Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler
The title says it all. This cobbler is actually made with refrigerated "cinnamon rolls." The recipe is easy, delicious, and perfectly spiced. It's equally good at breakfast or dessert.

Butternut, Apple, and Goat Cheese Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
How can something be so easy when it looks this fancy? An impressive dish for sure, even company worthy!

Caramel Apple Tart
An apple pie without caramel is not worth eating to me. This beautiful tart consists of granulated sugar, water, sea salt, heavy cream, and butter.  That's it. Talk about a slice of heaven!

Crock Pot Ginger Rum Apple Cider
This cocktail has tailgate written all over it. Keep the spiced rum on the side, so your guests have a boozy and non-alcoholic option. I can only imagine how yummy it smells.

Apple, Caramelized Onion and Spinach Quesadilla
Now this is a game day snack if I ever saw one. It only takes 15 minutes of preparation. And doesn't caramelized onions make everything better?

Baked Apple Cider Doughnuts With Cinnamon Maple Glaze
To me, this is fall in a photo. Love that they are baked and not fried. Oh just Yum!

Pasta With Apples, Bacon, Sage & Chantrelle Mushrooms
Gluten & Dairy Free 
I may have mentioned that I never eat pasta. Too many carbs and I shy away from gluten. This recipe would change all that. Can't you just smell the bacon and sage?

Baked Apple Bombs
Don't these just look like they are "the bomb?" The recipe author calls them the fireworks of fall! They are also easy and fun to whip up.

Ingredient Spotlight: Heirloom Tomatoes

If you are like me, you can't get enough of this summer's bumper crop of heirloom tomatoes. I finally got "Mr. Shop This"on board for paying their hefty price tag. We both agree, they are so worth the up-charge over your garden variety tomato. This recipe roundup not only highlights the heirlooms, it brings out their extraordinary flavor in unexpected ways.

Heirloom Tomato and Basil Frittata
What a visually stunning dish! With a generous amount of gruyere, it will be extra delicious, too. 

Heirloom Tomato & Burrata Salad
Yes please! The perfect Summer Salad. The tomatoes are marinated, and that is how the magic happens. Yum.

Farmers Market Hummus
You may remember that I make my own hummus weekly. So much better than store bought. I have not tried to add heirloom tomatoes. What a 
fabulous idea!

Heirloom Tomato Beet Salad
I wish that I liked beets, as they are so healthy for you. This recipe is super easy and like summer 
on a plate.

Chilled Heirloom Tomato Soup
Much like gazpacho but the heirloom tomatoes used take this summer classic up several notches!

Heirloom Tomato and Zucchini Galette with Honey + Thyme
Who needs pizza when you can have this? They say that a galette is easy to make because you don't have to be exact in the rolling of the dough.

Tomato & Shrimp Risotto
I try not to eat too many carbs, as in rice or pasta, often. But when I do, risotto is often my choice. Add fresh tomatoes and shrimp, and you have a fabulous feast!

Roasted Stuffed Heirloom Tomatoes
"These roasted stuffed heirloom tomatoes are filled with a goat cheese, creme fraiche, thyme mixture and topped with garlic butter breadcrumbs for a wonderful late summer side dish."

20 Minute Heirloom Tomato Basil Chicken Parmesan Bolognese
This recipe had me at the 20 minute mark. I can guarantee you that it would take me twice that time to create this tasty dish. But it would be so worth it.  I mean how can tomatoes, basil, chicken, parmesan, and mozzarella be bad?

Hot Bacon Caprese Salad With Heirloom Tomatoes
Oh my! This reminds me of a spinach salad I have made with hot bacon dressing. Anyone can make Caprese Salad. Why not elevate yours with this version? It is sure to please.

Mediterranean Prosciutto Buratta Flat Bread
Flat Bread always makes a great appetizer, but this dish looks like a meal to me. It can be made with homemade or store bought pizza dough. The pesto adds the color and authentic taste.

Grilled Peaches with Heirloom Tomatoes and Manchego
I have not thought of mixing peaches with tomatoes, but why not? These peaches have been caramelized by grilling them. This recipe is a balanced blend of sweet, salty, and herby freshness.
