Fresh Apple Recipes
These delicious Apple Pie recipes are easy. Several are from my mother's and my recipe box. Also try the yummy Apple Pizza, which I got in the 1980's and is similar to an apple crumb pie, but you spread the crust on a pizza pan instead of a pie plate. Simple and delicious. Also see Applesauce recipes.
The tart green Granny Smith apples are generally used for pie baking, but sometimes I use the Winesap apples too, which are a favorite in our family. Yellow Delicious apples we like too, they are very flavorful and the skin is not so tough.
