One of the great joys of fall is biting into a fresh, crisp, juicy apple. Whether one lives in the North or South, nothing beats an apple for a snack on a sunny, autumn afternoon. Apples are not only a tasty treat but also a healthy choice and full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. One medium apple has less than 100 calories and contains vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and 4 grams of fiber.
When choosing apples, look for those that are firm, brightly colored, and free from bruises. Keep the apples cool when storing because the fruit ripens quickly at room temperature. Of course, a bowl of apples freshly washed and placed on the kitchen table is a great way to get the family to reach for fruit when hungry for a snack! The rest of the apples can be stored in the fridge either in the fruit crisper or in perforated plastic bags. For long-term storage, keep the apples in a dark, cool, humid area, approximately 32-40 degrees. Or, place the apples in the garage or basement if the temperature is appropriate.
There are many ways to enjoy this fall fruit besides out-of-hand. Cut apples are another way to partake of this fruits bounty. To prevent browning on freshly cut fruit, sprinkle with sugar or dip in lemon, lime, or orange juice. Dipping in a carbonated white soda will protect the apples from browning without adding any extra flavor.
Apples come in many varieties. Golden Delicious does not brown readily when sliced and is a mellow apple that cooks well, too. Granny Smith is juicy, crunchy, and tart, perfect for salads or eating out-of-hand. Fuji and Gala apples are sweet and flavorful for salads or sauce. Another tart apple that is suitable for applesauce is the McIntosh variety. Or, try the Honeycrisp for a really sweet treat.
Apples can be used to enhance the flavor of recipes in so many ways. Try chopped apples in cabbage or broccoli slaws. Or, mix cut apples with yogurt, add some dried fruit, and then sprinkle with cinnamon--a yummy treat as a salad or dessert! And dont forget about the traditional baked apple which smells just wonderful while baking in the oven.
