15 Delicious Dishes Made With Maine's Amazing Apples

While apples are awesome right off the tree, there are so many other ways to highlight their unique flavor.

Everyone Has a Favorite Type of Apple and Insists Theirs is Best

It's always interesting when you initiate a conversation in a group about the tastiest apples. Everyone has a favorite and is sure theirs is the best. I love Royal Gala apples because they're sweet without being too sweet. It almost tastes like someone crossed an apple and a plum. My husband prefers Cortlands or Red Delicious.

With the Maine Orchards Open, Everyone Has Access to Fresh Apples

My son and I went apple picking a few weeks ago at an orchard in Bowdoin, Maine. I brought home a couple of bags of honey crisps, Cortlands, and Empires. There are far too many for my husband and me to eat naturally. So I started searching online for apple recipes and the result was incredible. I had no idea there were as many ways to eat one of my favorite fruits.
