20 of Our Best Recipes With Apples, From Sweet to Savory Dishes

Since apples are ever-present in grocery stores, everyday recipes, and restaurant menus, we sometimes take them for granted. But every time apple season rolls around and we see overflowing bushels of a dozen varieties of apples, and get the first taste of the just-picked new crop, we fall in love all over again.

Apples are so marvelously versatile, we love them equally when starring in sweet or savory dishes, hot or cold, raw or cooked. You can start the day with apple pancakes, French toast, coffee cakes, muffins, or apple-studded breakfast sausage, then move on to lunch and dinner with apples accenting salads, soups, braised and roasted meat dishes—and that's all before we even start on our favorite apple desserts ranging from crisps, crumbles, cobblers, pies, cakes, and fritters. Go ahead and pick some new favorites from our collection of best recipes with apples.
