Foodie Friday: Spotlight On Apples


Apple picking season in The Hudson Valley comes to an end at the end of this month. So it's time to get picking or at least visiting your Farmer's Market for some fresh apples. Here's inspiration for what to do with them. Enjoy!


Fall Fruit Baked Goat & Brie En Croute
An impressive and fabulous fall appetizer.Easy to make and delicious, too! This is a crowd pleasing dish.

Smoky Harvest Apple Cider Margarita
Fall in a glass. The drink is rimmed in salty cinnamon sugar. How clever! It's made with smoky Mezcal, which makes a really special margarita. Oh and there is maple syrup involved. The smoke effect comes from lighting a cinnamon stick on fire!

Tart Tatin
This is for Sara, who loves this dish. It is a beautiful way to eat apples. It begins with "made from scratch" puff pastry. I would be tempted to use the frozen sheets, however. Yum!

Savory Apple Thyme Tart
Oh this just sounds so fabulous for fall! Slice it up for an amazing appetizer. Or serve it with a side salad as lunch or dinner. I can just imagine how it smells as it is baking.
Apple Cake With Toffee Crust
This recipe had me at the word toffee. I make homemade caramel sauce often, but never have tried toffee sauce. Looks easy, and you can tell by looking at the cake that it is moist.

Caramelized Onion Apple Mac and Cheese
Panko bread crumbs, and finishing this dish in the oven makes it extra crispy. One of the cheeses used in this recipe is Gouda, which is a must in my kitchen! This really sounds divine!

Apple Cream Cheese Bundt Cake
I am not normally a fan of bundt cake - not enough frosting! But between the praline frosting and the cream cheese filling in this case, I think my sweet tooth will be happy.

Waldorf Salad
This version of the classic salad your Mom or Grandma made is bursting with fresh flavor and fruit. What make it different is using Greek Yogurt instead of mayonnaise. There is a bright freshness to the dressing with hints of lemon and corriander.  Worth a try!
Feasting at Home

Salted Apple Fritters
See that apple above? It's a Honeycrisp and they are simply the best at this time of year. One of the things I miss the most about leaving Chicago, is the apple fritters at Stan's Donuts. And I mean I really miss them. These fritters promise to be sweet and salty with a crispy exterior, but soft and gooey on the inside. I may faint.

Apple, Sage, and Prosciutto Stuffed Pork Loin
Oh what a main dish! I do believe that my fave fall flavor is sage. I can almost smell this roast cooking. There is spinach involved in the recipe too, and of course a bit of garlic. Wow!

Caramel Apple Dip
The base of this dip is slightly sweetened cream cheese. Then it is layered with homemade caramel sauce and toffee bits. This will be a hit at your next tailgate or cocktail party. Serve it with apples, pears, graham crackers  and more!

Apple, Caramelized Onion and Spinach Quesadilla
This is a great party appetizer with all the flavors of fall. It's made with fontina cheese, because it melts so well.vLooks fun to serve and eat!
Favorite Apple Pie Recipe
I chose to feature the slice of this pie instead of a whole pie picture. Why? Because it is just the right color on the inside. If your pie doesn't look like this, you don't have enough cinnamon and nutmeg in it. A touch of lemon is crucial, too. It keeps the flavors bright and the apples true to color. Perfection!

Caramelized Onion and Apple Tarts
If you want to serve something as French as can be, this is it. It's a sophisticated appetizer that is easy to make but impressive to the taste buds. The Gruyère cheese elevates each bite.

Fall Host Gifts Under $50

Aren't fall parties the best? There's the chili suppers, brat barbecues, tailgate time, and all the other fall festivities. Behind each of the events is a host or hostess that planned it all.  They deserve a thank you. Any one of these gifts will get you invited back again.

Personalized Wine Bottle Gift Bag
If you enjoy bringing a bottle to your host, dress it in one of these. So much classier than a naked bottle! If you can believe, it's under $10. Use your initials or theirs. 

Wine Chips
Chips for grownups! These are so creative and I bet, tasty too. Made to pair with wine and/or charcuterie. Four sets for your choosing priced from $39.95 - $49.95

Riedel St. Wings Pinot Noir Set 
Although this is a skimpy pour, it is a fabulous wine glass. What a stylish shape! And there are styles for Champagne and Cabernet, too. Known to be the best in crystal wine glasses, this Riedel set is only $39. 

Monochrome Candles
A chic candle really is a great gift. The problem is that the best ones are pretty pricey. Not that your host or hostess, isn't worth it.  Crate's new candles are modern, colorful, and packaged so nicely. With names like " Grey Rain " "Orange Harvest" "Beige Pampas," to name a few, I bet they are delightful.  Best yet, they are perfectly priced from  $29.95 - $39.95. Try to match the colors of their home.

Knit Dog Sweater
A sure way to a host's heart is through their pup. This skull & crossbones style will not only give the pooch street cred, it will actually be used. Available in sizes XS - XL

WMS & Co Paper Pads
I think every person has a reason to use one of these. It's a very classy gift with the gilded gold edge.

Who wouldn't want one of these? It is on sale right now and under $25. 

Real Dill Extra Spicy Bloody Mary Mix Growler
A little hair of the dog never hurt anyone. You will know just who will love this gift. It's an all natural product handmade in Colorado using only fresh ingredients, with a little extra dash of peppers.
Cheers!

Everlasting Candles
A new product to me, but a fab find! These steel candles never melt down. One purchase and you have a candle for life. (This might be a small exageration, but you know what I mean. ) Available in five elegant shades, and come boxed three to a set. Containers sold separately. Your host could also use their own.

Gourmet Cheese Grater
Good looking and practical, too! I would so love one of these. Under $30.


White Truffle Oil
If your host or hostess is a cook, too, they will love this. Perfect for salad dressings, aoli sauces for french fries, drizzling on foccacio bread, to name just a few uses for the oil. I love the container as well. $28 at
ABC Home

Samson Cake Serving Set
Sleek and stylish, this set is for the modern host or hostess.  I mean who doesn't love cake? Available in other colors including silver and gold.

Pappy & Company Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup
Perfect for the bourbon and the pure maple lover. This syrup is very special. It has been aged in the same barrels as the two year old Pappy Van Winkle bourbon is. If not on pancakes, they will add it to a spiced bourbon cocktail. 'Tis the season!
