Cooking with Apples


apple, soaking it in salt and lemon juice briefly and letting it dry. No two dolls are ever alike due to the distinctive drying effects. Paint and beads are used to create cheek color, lips and eyes. Some people also make apple hands and feet to go on their dolls. The next step is to make a body out of batting and wire. Finally, after poking wire into the top of the head and thru the bottom, you use the wire to attach the head to the body, doing the same with the hands and feet. All wire pieces wrap around the body and make the doll posable also. Then add clothes and there sits a lovely piece of true folk art.


Apples are a terrific snack when it comes to staving off hunger and they are packed with nutrients not wasted calories. Apple- sauce is a wonderful fat free substitute to recipes that call for oil or shortening. Not only is it healthier, when used in baking, applesauce makes baked good more moist. When caring for your apples, it is best to store apples in the refrigerator because they loose their crispness if stored at room temperature. Place them in a perforated plastic bag and store them in the crisper. Take care not to store older, bruised or cut apples with fresh apples or they will make the newer ones spoil more quickly. To prevent browning of sliced apples, quickly soak the slices in a mixture of three parts water to one part lemon juice. There is also a solution of ascorbic acid, available at most grocery stores that will ward off browning. There are as many ways to prepare apples as there are apple varieties.

Don’t forget those specialties at carnivals or fairs…caramel, chocolate covered and candy apples, treats for the young and young at heart. Apple butter, made from slowly cooked then pureed apples, has been a long time favorite for generations. It is a spread that adds wonderful flavor to pancakes, waffles, toast and anything else you desire. Be sure to mix tart apples with sweet apples when baking to have a balanced flavor. During special events an apple can be hollowed out and baked with your favorite stuffing or filled
