Easy Classic French Apple Recipes is a tasty collection of delicious traditional apple dishes to make with Autumn's bounty. We've gathered 9 delightful apple season recipes that showcase the fruit's versatility, from savory classics like Apple, Chestnut Pork Pie and Roasted Goose With Apples to sweet indulgences like Apple Tarte Tatin and Apple Galette.
👀What To Look For In An Apple?
- If the apples are soft, don't buy them, as a soft apple may be past its prime or it has been handled poorly. Look for firm apples.
- Inspect them to ensure they are not bruised (although the odd one can be easily cut out), or holes that a little critter 🐛 could have made. You never know who will be inside! 😉
- They need to be ripe, which in most cases will mean the color is correct for the type of apple you are choosing.
- How do they smell? If they smell delicious, then they are ripe.
🤔How Many Will You Need?
- Purchase the number of apples you need for the people you are feeding. For instance, a 9" apple pie will require 6 medium apples or 10 small apples and will serve 6-8 people.
- In my house, a 9" pie will serve 6 people for dessert after a meal. We love dessert here!
🍂When Are Apples In Season?
Most people think of apples as being available in the autumn months when the weather is turning colder. However, summer varieties are available as early as July in the United States and August in Canada, the United Kingdom, and many European countries. Summer varieties will not store as well as autumn apples, but thankfully, due to better storage systems, apples can be kept in some cases for a year.
Whether you are planning a cozy dinner or a festive dessert? These French-inspired dishes will bring warmth and flavor to your table!
