We have an old apple tree in our yard. Unfortunately, we don't know its age or variety. This year, however, we havea bumpercrop of apples which we picked last week. This weekend I plan to put my nose to the grindstone and do something with them.
My brain has been running wild with ideas--apple chutney, applesauce, cake, muffins, cookies, pie or tarts? Maybe a savory sauce to serve with a roast? I've consulted my disastrous recipe folder, my old blog posts, websites, The Forgotten Skills of Cooking by Darina Allen, the Washington State Apple Commission, and various little community cookbooks.
While trying to bring my thoughts under control, I gathered links and recipes to solidify my plan. Here are some of the things I now have on deck. If you have a bumper crop of apples, then you might find these resources helpful as well.
Buttery Apple Cake from Land O' Lakes--a classic and a staple in my collection.
Cascade Chunky Applesauce
The Original Morning Glory Muffin from Nantucket in 1978
The Forgotten Skills of Cooking by Darina Allen--In this book, Darina includes wonderful insights and recipes for cooking with old apples. In the header to her recipe for applesauce, she mentions that old apples tend to break down into a fluff. Much to my delight, I noticed that indeed my heirloom applesauce had a "fluffy" texture to it.
