With fall already here, you can almost smell the apple pie baking in the oven. It’s one of most American’s favorite foods, especially during the holidays. This sumptuous dessert has a way of complementing any meal and makes dinner time even more exciting. But apple pie is not the only way to enjoy apples. So today, I bring you several easy fall apple recipes that the entire family will enjoy.

Apple Varieties And Their Uses

I love that there are several varieties of apples. I personally like eating the sweetest-tasting apples: Golden Delicious, Gala, and Stayman.

There are other varieties, such as the Red Delicious and Fuji apples, that taste good, and they make excellent snack foods.

Honeycrisp and Granny Smith apples are great for baking.

Jonagold and McIntosh apples are great for applesauce, while Gala and Rome Beauty apples are used for making apple cider.
