It is fall and apple season is in full swing! This is a great time to try some new recipes with apples because they typically go on sale frequently.
These recipes are also great ways to use up apples that may be a little wrinkly or have a soft spot or two. Don’t throw them out just yet, make one of these super yummy recipes instead!
What to make with Apples that is not Dessert?
We could make a zillion items with apples for a dessert, but these are all fun and creative ways to use them for a meal!
1. Waldorf Salad
This is not just a potluck dish, this is a great side dish when you are having a strong flavored meat like BBQ chicken!
2. Slow Cooker Apple Butter
OK technically not a meal recipe, but this is good on biscuits, toast, and so much more! Try it on cornbread too, it sounds weird but it is so yummy!
3. Sausage and Apple Stuffing
This is such an unexpected flavor, but it just really works well. You can totally do this for Thanksgiving too!
4. German Red Cabbage
This is one of those that I didn’t expect to like, but it is really tasty!
5. Butternut Squash and Apples
This super quick side dish is all about fall flavors. You can easily do a ton of variations with this too!
6. Apple-Cheddar Soup with Bacon
Apple soup? Are you serious? Yes! Don’t knock it until you try it!
7. Apple Slaw
I think we have done so many variations of coleslaw recently, but this is definitely one to keep around. If you do it with Granny Smith apples it has a really nice tang, or you can do it with Red Delicious for a nice crunch!
8. Apple BBQ Chicken
There is something just so tasty about apples and a smoky barbeque sauce!
