]]>Anthea is a true master when it comes to baking delicious muffins, and it goes without saying that she developed a recipe for this sweet treat that puts apples front and center.
Tarts are one of the ultimate fall desserts, and you can use apples to take yours to new heights. Anthea’s recipe for this tart will win you over with its irresistible buttery crust and thinly sliced, caramelized apples, arranged in the shape of a flower.
Cinnamon rolls are one of the best comfort desserts on the market, and you can take them to new heights by adding some finely chopped apples to the mix.
If you’re a huge fan of perfectly imperfect desserts, crumble cake is probably one of your all-time favorites. This one owes its delicious flavor to chopped pecans and thinly sliced apples, used as a topping.

]]>Follow your favorite banana bread recipe, but replace the quantity of bananas it calls for with homemade apple puree. To make the puree, stew the apples in a saucepan with a tablespoon of sugar until they start to fall apart. The puree may be a touch more wet than mashed bananas, so you may need to slightly up the amount of flour used in the recipe.
Halfway through the time it takes to roast the chicken, take three or four apples, pierce their skins with a fork, and place them around the chicken on the roasting tray. As the chicken continues to roast, its juices should mingle with those of the apples, creating a delicious gravy base. The apples can be served up as they are, or mashed into potatoes to create a sumptuous, tasty mash.
If you are cooking up a hearty vegetable stew, add a few cubed apples to the mix. As they cook down, they will lend a sweetness and tartness that can really add interest to the flavors in the stew, without overwhelming the overall taste.

]]>First, you need to know why it happens. The main culprit for slices going brown is oxidation. So, we need a way to keep slices away from the air. One of the ways to do this is to use an apple slicer to create wedges and put pieces together after slicing. Or we can just use a simple kitchen knife, clean slices, and put them back into the apple shape, and then tighten with a rubber band or two.
Another great way to achieve the same effect is to squeeze lemon or lime juice over the slices. A mixture of water and honey is also known to give good results. You just need to soak the slices in it for a few minutes and then store them as you like for later. Enjoy trying these recipes!

]]>When making your shopping list from September through December, make sure to add these tasty in-season fruits to your list and enjoy all of their fantastic possibilities.
Apples might be thought of as a year-round fruit, but these beauties actually come into season during the autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. While great as a simple snack, you can also try more adventurous recipes—like baked apples with brown sugar or apple cider—by using these little guys.
Cranberry sauce is a staple on Thanksgiving plates every November, so it comes as no surprise that this fruit is at its best during the fall. Tarts, pies, and cakes are some of the places where this “superfood” stands out, but the possibilities are really endless.
Pears are like apples—ubiquitous year-round—but at their peak during the fall. The summer heat turns these fruits sweet and juicy by the time they are ready for harvest in the fall, after which they can be used in salads, as a snack, or for any of a number of culinary uses.

]]>The post Why Do We Eat Apple Pie on the Fourth of July? appeared first on thedancingcucumber.com.
]]>It dates back to when Americans gained independence from Britain and started distancing themselves from British culture including traditional English desserts like scones and bread pudding. Way back in the 1700s, newcomers from the Netherlands and Germany taught early settlers from an English descent how to make buttery crusts and the colonists filled them with sliced apples and spices which eventually became the dessert we know and love today. In 1796, in the first American cookbook, American Cookery, a recipe was published for apple pie. Like the Fourth of July, apple pie symbolizes America’s independence from Britain.
Chances are you’ve heard someone say “as American as apple pie,” but you probably weren’t aware where the term originated from. The phrase came from the folktale Johnny Appleseed, but it didn’t become popular until after World War II when it was common for soldiers to say they enlisted “for mom and apple pie.” Ever since it’s been used to describe anything patriotic.

]]>This might not be everyone’s favorite fruit, but it’s very useful and high in antioxidants. Grapefruits are one of the best foods for the liver.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BkdRFreDkAZ/
This vegetable is another amazing source of antioxidants. Simply put it to use by including it in salads or smoothies.
Actually, most types of tea will do the job. The green one has so many benefits that it’s hard to count them on both hands. Studies show that tea can significantly improve the enzyme function in the liver, while also reducing the oxidative stress.
Apples help the body eliminate the toxins much faster. By doing that, they make it much easier for the liver.
Broccoli and all the other cruciferous vegetables are always on the best foods for the liver list. They have the ability to protect this organ from damage by increasing the enzyme levels for detoxification.
