Apples and Autumn Flavors
Apples are at their best during this time of year, offering a sweet juice and nuanced flavor. The smell of a ripe apple signals the start of a new season, while biting into one releases the essence of autumn, with notes of cinnamon and sweetness.
An apple doesn’t really have the scent of crumbling leaves and firewood burning, but very few foods are so deeply associated with a season and all its very real cliches.
As the seasons change, apples will soon be stored and sold during the winter months, losing their flavor and texture by January, February, and March. To make the most of this autumnal fruit, try these three new apple recipes.
- Cabbage, fennel and apple slaw: a refreshing and juicy accompaniment to sandwiches, soups, stews, or burgers.
- Roasted pork with "applesauce": a revelation of flavors and textures.
