Four Autumn Apple Recipes

Dear apple, on your branch, please fall into my hat. For if I take you off the tree, they'll not be pleased with that!

Apples red and apples green, please fall down upon the ground. For if I pick you off the tree, I cannot say how you've been found.

Apples here and apples there, please fall into my hand. My little sisters stand and stare and wait for you to land.

Hips and haws and thistles tall stand all around the tree. All will soon be picked and stored. Is there not just one for me?

Apples, apples, everywhere, please let me have just one,and just two more, please, tree, then September will be done.

Oh, apple season — how I love you! There are hundreds of varieties of apples out there, from crisp-tart to sweet-tart to just-plain-sweet. With apples of all shapes and sizes in amazing shades of gold, red, green, it's a wonder that they are as delicious as they are beautiful. This week we celebrate apple season with four of our favorite apple recipes.
