Our Apple Feast!

What do you do when you pick 3 flats of apples, eat a bunch, make several batches of applesauce, and still have countless apples leftover? You have an apple feast!

We prepared and enjoyed this cozy fall dinner the other evening, and just about every dish featured apples! This pork roast with apples and onions is unbelievably easy and delicious. It has been our go to fall comfort meal for years. Alongside the roast we served rice pilaf with pecans (also included in recipe link), only we used black rice. To our mixed greens we added thinly sliced shallots, celery, and apples, and dressed it with a vinaigrette— I’m thinking now how tasty this salad would be with walnuts, so I’ll be sure to add those next time I make it.

As we ate, our apple butter (recipe HERE) was bubbling away on the stove and our apple pie (recipe and inspiration from THIS adorable book!) was baking in the oven. To say the house smelled heavenly was a definite understatement!

It’s safe to say the pie was a huge hit!

Even after our feast, we still have a flat full of apples! We’ll definitely keep some for snacking and make some more applesauce, but we are looking for some fun new recipes to try. Friends, what are your favorite apple recipes? Please share in the comments!
