What’s Your Favorite Apple Dessert?/A Giveaway

BY Kevin Lee Jacobs | 520 Comments

Last updated on October 5th, 2012

UPDATE: congratulations to the two winners of the apple corer-peeler-slicer:
Ray Stokes, comment #221: “My favorite is spiced microwave apples…”
S. Taylor, comment #467: “Jeffrey Tolar’s famous apple caramel pie recipe…”

BECAUSE YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME, I’m giving away two apple-corer-peeler-slicers.  Read on, and I’ll explain more about this clever Shaker invention, and how you can enter for a chance to win one in my latest random drawing:

I can tell you the apple corer-peeler-slicer is a great time-saver.  You stick an apple on the gadget’s fork, and then turn a handle.

As the fork spins round and round, a little blade peels the apple.

The blade slices the apple, too, into a perfect spiral. I call this an “Apple Accordion.”  Or an “Apple Slinky.”

A slinky that you cut in half…

in order to achieve perfect-for-a-pie apple slices. Nifty, huh?

With practice, you can core, peel, and slice an apple in about 20 seconds. I speak from experience.

For a chance to win this useful device, just do the following:

In the comments section below, answer this question: “What’s your favorite apple dessert?”

Is it  La Tart Tatin? Apple Pie? Apple Crisp? A warm, crisp, and flaky Harvest Turnover? Okay, this last item contains bacon as well as apples. So some of you might not consider it a dessert. But it still qualifies, as do apple pancakes, and any other apple-icious dish you happen to mention.

I’ll use the little number gadget at Random (dot) org to select two winners. The winners will be notified by email.

Enter soon! This drawing expires on Thursday, October 4, 2012, at 11:59PM EST.

    Oh my, now my mouth is watering for an apple pie.
    This cute gadget might make me move my body instead of my lips saying blah, blah.

    Thanks for the chance to win.

    Suzanne Bennett says

    my favorite apple dessert is fried apple pies. they take me back to my grandmas kitchen when she would let me roll out the dough and place the cooked, seasoned apples on it and seal it with a fork. She would always tell me to be sure to poke a hole in the top then she would drop them in the hot oil to cook up brown and crispy.

    Kimmer says

    My mother made “Apple Betty” an apple crisp with a sweet frosting dollop on top. Best dessert ever!

  11. 11

    Julie Kaartinen says

    Good old fashioned apple pie, made with AT LEAST four different varieties, and served up warm with vanilla bean ice cream! Can’t get any better than that!

  13. 13

    Lori Anderson says

    My favourite apple dessert is lovely, warm, sugary, crumbly apple crisp warm from the oven, smelling of fall and cinnamon, with a scoop of lovely, cold, vanilla ice cream, the kind with little specks of vanilla in it, melting slowly over the top. I bet I am not alone.

    Runner up? Canadian-ly idiosyncratic warm apple pie with cheddar cheese melted on it.

    Julie Kaartinen says

    Good old fashioned apple pie, made with AT LEAST four varieties . . . served warm with vanilla bean ice cream. Doesn’t get much better than that!

    Amanda Wiersma says

    Apple crisp here! Or apple pie jam, like another gal posted. Apples with my pork chops, desert and dinner at once. Spice cake with apple pie filling between the layers and cream cheese frosting. Mmmm. Love apples!

  21. 21

    Eileen says

    Apple pie with walnuts and caramel, with a healthy scoop of vanilla ice cream! And a strong cup of coffee!

  24. 24

    Paula says

    I happen to be allergic to raw apples! So, I love making apple crisp, but if I peel too many apples, my eyes and throat swell up. How’s that for a sad sack story? ‘Tis true…. I wonder if this peeler would also work for potatoes, as their raw skin have the same affect.

  28. 28

    Christina says

    I love chopping apples and quickly cooking them on the stove with butter, raisins, cinnamon, and sometimes a touch of brown sugar. I call it a side dish at dinner but my kids eat it like dessert!

    Misty says

    Kevin,I just finished making your Harvest Turnovers! What timing! LOL Oh My Gosh! They are Really Knock Your Socks Off DELICIOUS!!! Absolutely the BEST Turnover I have ever tasted! I took one bite and couldn’t put it down until the last morsel was gone. They are fit for a King/Queen! The Apples, Bacon and Cheese were a perfect combination. I made them with my Granny apples, off my tree and used Fresh & Easy British Brand bacon without nitrates. You have a Winner and the “Harvest Turnovers” are now my FAVORITE Apple recipe. Hat’s off to you!

    Regards,
    Misty

    Jon says

    apple crisp like my mother and grandmother made , I have passed the recipe on to my girls and now the make it for me . This sure would make it easier, but its the love that goes into making it that counts.

    amy halpern says

    My mothers dutch apple cake or Noodle pudding with apples and rasins or …my free form apple tart with caramel sauce

  35. 35

    Danielle Romero says

    Apple Crisp! Yes, please! Saw this post and realized I had given one of these gadgets (previously purchased at a pampered chef party) to my best friend as I only recently have been learning how to cook/bake….asked her if she still had it and if she wasn’t using it, pls send it my way…she said it took up too much room and she gave it to goodwill 🙁 I had only used it once, big bummer! Would love to win your contest but would you please post a good source for buying one? I’m inspired! Thank you 🙂

    KaeleyAnne says

    I’m torn between my mother’s apple pie with vanilla ice cream and the apple fritters that a local store makes. We will be moving next year and I don’t know how I’ll live without that store’s doughnuts!

  42. 42

    Linda says

    I love apple crisp. And apple pie. And apple butter. And caramel apples. And plain old apples. We eat a lot of apples.

  45. 45

    Julie B. says

    Definitely apple crisp but I suspect that the harvest turnovers will be way up there once I make time to try them

  49. 49

    Lazy Girls Garden says

    I love a mix of different apples… granny smith, red delicious, pink lady… etc. for my Apple Cobbler. Just peel, slice and toss with sugar and cinnamon, place in a baking dish and top with a mixture of cold butter, oats, organic flour, sugar, pecans, and lots of roasted cinnamon. Bake until apples are tender and topping is golden. Simple? Yes. But oh, so tasty!

  50. 50

    Robin says

    I’d have to go with apple crisp. I’ve been wanting one of those handy peelers for a while, but never could swing it. I’m thinking it would make it easy to put up or dry those slices without too much work.

  54. 54

    Nicole says

    Last Christmas I made these little pastries similar to apple pie where you take a small square of pie crust, fill it with apples and spices, then fold the corners up over it and bake. They were delicious and are definitely in the plans for my Christmas baking this year!

  55. 55

    Julie says

    My favorite is apple crumble, because of the ease of cooking and of improvising. I’ll routinely take whatever fruit that needs to be used up around the house and toss it in, and it always comes out great!

  59. 59

    Steve Petersen says

    Apple pie for sure, love the smell of a fresh baked pie. I have about three dozen apple trees on my property. The trees are about 100 years old and need pruning badly to produce better apples. Any tips on pruning apple trees that have been pruned for over 20 years would be appreciated. Until I met my girlfriend Bea the apples were never used for anything other than feeding the deer over the fall and winter. Bea is a great cook and loves to bake for friends and family. We now have a use for the apples.

    Eliza J says

    Definitely apple crisp. I’m canning applesauce today…I think I’ll set some apples aside for apple crisp tonight 🙂

    Misty Huffman says

    Flaky apple turnovers. By the way, I love your site. Thank you for taking the time to share your recipes, pictures and great ideas.

  62. 62

    Marcia Hicks says

    Good old fashioned deep-dish Apple Pie. Used to have it ‘a la mode, but just discovered that I’m allergic to cow’s milk so until I figure out how to make goat milk ice cream, it’s just a warm slice of pie for me!

  65. 65

    Tara says

    Hmm… My grandmother makes her special brand of apple dumplings with the greatest dough/crust every Thanksgiving. I keep trying to get her to teach me to make them and she keeps putting me off!! This year, I’m never going to leave the kitchen so she has to make them in front of me!

  67. 67

    Susan Morgan says

    Plain old Apple Crisp, 7 ingredients that are always handy at my house. Easy to make when my girls were small, and easy now that I am totally on my own.

    Best with homemade Ice cream. 🙂

  84. 84

    Susan N says

    My favorite would have to be Dutch Apple Pie. No wait, Apple Turnovers. But, I love Apple Crumble too and Fried Apples in Caramel Sauce over ice cream. I’m sorry. I can’t pick a favorite. If it has apples in it, I’m all in. 🙂

    Apple tart…apple muffins..apples are so good in oatmeal, stuffing

    Jeanne Dwyer says

    Hi, Kevin!

    I just baked your Apple Crisp yesterday for my family’s monthly gathering, topping it off with fresh whipped cream I made with my hand-dandy immersion blender 🙂 . It was a huge hit, as you may have guessed. (I also made two huge pot roasts, garlic mashed red potatoes-peels on, steamed greeen beans and baked golden nuggest squash.) After peeling, coring and slicing 8 Braeburns, my hands ached, especially my knife-wielding one. PLEASE draw my name for the apple peeler!!!

    Love your website!! ( I save all your recipes. I use them, too!)

    Jeanne

    Sherrie B says

    My favorite apple recipe is apple pie. Although I did try your Harvest Turnover recipe for supper last night and it’s really great. I’ve been borrowing mom’s apple slicer, corer, peeler and it would be so nice to have my own.

    Thanks SO much for the giveaway!

  95. 95

    Steve Hitchcock says

    Country Apple Dumplings are the best. Made with Crescent Roll dough and Mountain Dew, plus a few other ingredients. This is the hit of the party every time we make them. Easy to make and over the top with flavor.

  96. 96

    Karen Duke says

    Upside down pecan apple pie! Mix 1 cup chopped pecans with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/3 cup melted butter, press into the bottom of pie pan. Cover with crust, toss in fresh apples cut in 1″ slices with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg. Top with another pie crust, cut holes in top to allow steam to escape. Cook 1 hour at 375. Put pie on cooling rack for 10 minutes. Cover with a plate, flip over so pie is on the plate and the pecans are on top. Cool 1 hour, if you can, before you eat it. This pie oozes crunchy awesomeness with the fresh apples.

  98. 98

    Courtney Ryan says

    I am going to have to go with apple pie! Still hot, of course, with vanilla bean ice cream melting on top!

  101. 101

    Bryonna says

    It’s hard to pick just one… I love apples! Hmmmm, apple crisp and tarte tatin are leaders, but I’d have to go with Dorie Greenspan’s “Marie-Helene’s Apple Cake”. Delish!

  102. 102

    Judith Priglmeier says

    After having just made a trip to the apple orchard and then going through my vast collection of apple recipes, I’ve decided on “Apple Dumplings,” as my favorite apple dessert.

  105. 105

    Carol Ann Clark says

    Applesauce muffin cake and here’s the healthy non-gluten recipe.

    A recipe adaptation from Carol Ann – April 30, 2012

  106. 106

    Vic Yepello says

    Has to be Apple Turnovers. They are my earliest memory of an apple desert we had often because a neighbor made them fresh and would bring some over.

  109. 109

    Lynne says

    Apples in Gowns! It is a variation of apple dumplings I suppose. Take a square of puff pastry, dot the inside with butter, sugar, cinnamon; place a cored and peeled apple in the middle sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon and butter; make a “purse” by joining the four corners together. Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the juices are flowing from the apple.

  110. 110

    Linda Cannady says

    I love warm Dutch Apple Pie with the yummy, crumbly topping!
    This apple peeler would sure save me a lot of work and would be wonderful to own!

  111. 111

    VH says

    Love, love apple picking time. I love apple crisp, but two of my favorites are so simple—-for lunch having a cored apple filled with a mixture of crunchy peanut butter and raisins, is a meal in it’s self.

    Then my next, is a cored apple baked and filled with cinnamon candy hearts and a little butter with a dash of ginger. YUM!!!!

  115. 115

    Cathy says

    My favorite is Flaky Apple Roll. Think nut roll but with apples and nuts rolled in a flaky crust. Yum! Thanks for the giveaway.

  118. 118

    Karen Johnson says

    Love Apple Crisp with vanilla ice cream on to too! I use Pampered Chefs’ easy peasey recipe. Five Grannies, slice and core placed in a baking dish. Top with half a package of white cake mix, sprinkle with 2 T sugar, 1 T cinnamon, melt and pour a 1/4 butter over top add a 1/4 nuts if you like and bake 35 minutes on 350. Super easy, and super yummy. I need my own slicer corer!!!! Thanks for the chance to win one!

  121. 121

    Harleygalnc says

    baked apples with butter and those red heart cinnamon candies melted on top..
    my grandma did this for me as a child,, still love apples this way

    Lisa B says

    French Apple Tart
    Pie crust layered with thinly sliced apple, dot with butter, sprinkle with sugar (cinnamon and nutmeg dont’ hurt either), bake, when done brush with thinned apricot jam. LOVE IT!!!

    Lee Baldwin says

    apple grunt, with apple crisp a close second (one in the oven right now, and apples simmering for jelly on the stove…)

  133. 133

    Deborah Aydlott says

    Any dessert with Apple in it! Apple Pie has to be my most favorite of all time though…with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

  135. 135

    Addy Rae says

    Apple crisp, a recipe I learned in home economics in high school. What’s nice about it is that we replaced the flour with rice flour so it’s wheat free and safe for me to eat! (I have a wheat allergy)

  137. 137

    Pattie says

    My mom made the BEST baked apples…simple yet so delicious…especially with a little scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream. Mine are good, but my mom’s were the best!

  138. 138

    Barbara says

    I have in “quarantine” a bucket of bruised and bug damaged apples that are perfect for making Apple Crisps. There was a time i would have left those apples on the trees, or tossed them into the woods or compost bin, but it shocked me how much perfectly lovely, sweet apple flesh remains when the damaged parts are cut neatly away. It’s surgical, autumnal, and deeply satisfying.

    I will note that my crisp recipe lacks the finesse of yours. I leave the skins on (so long as the skins are undamaged), and have no bottom crisp layer. But it’s scrumptious anyway, because really, one can’t go too terribly wrong with apples and cinnamon.

  140. 140

    Carol says

    It’s not terribly original, but I love homemade Apple Pie. I have a family recipe that stipulates that you cook the pie inside a paper (grocery) bag – really. The resulting pie is spicy, moist, and delicious, so it must work!

  145. 145

    William King says

    My favorite is warm apple streudel with homade vanilla ice cream. I f that doesn’t make your mouth water then i don’t know what will…lol

  146. 146

    Steve says

    I’m kind of old school. Apple Crisp for me. Warm and fresh from the oven with vanilla ice cream. Nothing else like it!

  147. 147

    Janet E. says

    I love those wonderful apple pancakes with cinnamon & sugar, the way my Mom used to make them. I tried a new recipe yesterday from Christy Jordan, an Apple Dapple cake, it was to die for , but then I am so partial to anything made with apples!!!!!!!!

    Thank you for the chance to win this great timesaver!!!!!!!!

  150. 150

    katie says

    I like pretty much anything with apples, but especially like the apple tarts my brother makes. Mmm Mmmm Good!

  153. 153

    Riversana says

    As long as they’re hot, with spices and butter, Apples in any form are fine with me! Apple pie, or just warm country apple sauce. My mom used to make a fantastic apple butter that was almost as good as desert!

  154. 154

    tricialee says

    My Mom’s apple pie was the best in the world. I have never tasted an apple dessert that even comes close to her accomplishment. Her hands were magic..

    So, Apple Crisp is my ‘new recipe of choice’ when it comes to fresh apples. Would love to create new memories with my grandchildres.

  155. 155

    Brenda from Cape Cod says

    I already have a peeler, corer, slicer, (and I love this thing!) but wanted to take this opportunity to share my Apple Cake recipe. I get a lot of requests for this one.

    4-5 apples (any kind will do) peeled, cored and cut up in small pieces
    5 tablespoons PLUS 2 1/2 cups sugar
    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    4 large eggs
    1 cup vegetable oil
    1/4 cup orange juice
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    3 cups flour
    3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan non-stick spray. (you need a large pan or this will end up dripping over onto the floor of your oven)

    Mix the apple pieces, 5 tablespoons sugar and ground cinnamon in a large bowl. Set aside.

    Combine 2 1/2 cups sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, orange juice, and vanilla extract in another large bowl (I use my KitchenAid for this). Blend. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt into eggs mixture.

    Spoon 1 1/2 cups batter into prepared pan. Top with half of the apple mixture. Cover with 1 1/2 cups batter. Top with remaining apples, then with remaining batter.

    Bake cake in preheated oven until top is golden brown and tester inserted near center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

    Cool cake in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes. Run knife around sides of pan and center tube to loosen. Turn cake out onto rack. Cool for 1 hour.

  159. 159

    Gay Ayyagari says

    No special recipe–we love apples just the way they are–plain and simple; and as fresh from the tree as possible! Would love the apple gadget as a Christmas gift for my two grandsons 9 and 12 who love to bake. Thanks.

  167. 167

    Tricia B. says

    Nothing beats a good old Yankee apple pie. Apple slices sprinkled with sugar and a dash of nutmeg, dotted with butter. My father would eat it with a slice of cheese, but I prefer vanilla ice cream.

  168. 168

    Mimi Alexander says

    My favorite APPLE DESSERT is quite simple, and yet…..it opens a huge door to the most widely selections to choose fom, and…..at any moment. I call it, “Kentucky Fried Apples”. Here’s why: At Apple harvest season, I take my favorite fresh apples, clean, wash, peel, and de-core them. Gently saute them in a small amount of butter, sprinkle a tad of sugar, honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, or whatever you prefer, and cook until tender. Now comes the best part. Cool this apple mix and then place in freezer containers like, Zip Lock boxes and place in hour freezer until needed for a wide variety of delicious desserts such as, Apple Pie, Apple Cake, Apple Sauce over Vanilla Ice Cream, Apple Muffins, Apple Yogurt, Apple Crumble, Apples Fritters, Apple Pop Overs. With this basic Apple Mixture, you’r free to use your imagination and add goodies such as, chopped walnuts or Pecans, Raisins, Currants, or Dates, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, or Cardamon to create the Dessert of your choice at any moment weeks or months down the road. It’s a, ~win-win~. I like that!

  169. 169

    Sue says

    I love all the apple deserts but my favorite is just plain fresh apple..my doggie & I eat one every day….

  171. 171

    Sandie says

    My Mom always made fried apple pies when I was little We would go to the local orchard and pick apples, come home and start peeling and slicing. I could hardly wait till they cooled off to get a bite. Good memories.

  177. 177

    Jane Seaver says

    I love good homemade apple pie or apple squares and apple butter just make me happy. Reminds me of my grandmother who always gave us apple butter on our toast!

  178. 178

    Jennifer says

    Apple Crisp definitely but I want to make apple butter and this gadget would make that SO much easier! Please!

  180. 180

    Cindy says

    Baked apples and honey/cinnamon sauce. Cores stuffed with nuts and raisins drenched in the sauce, in the skin (for those wheat avoiders) or in a yummy dumpling/closed pie shell with vanilla ice cream and of course, more sauce!

  182. 182

    Louise Brouillette says

    Classic Apple Pie is still my fav! I subscribe to your email newsletter and follow you on FB and Twitter.

  187. 187

    Andreas says

    HI Kevin,
    my favourite apple dessert is the Pink Adobe French Apple Pie – I had it first at the Pink Adobe restaurant in Santa Fe, and just had to buy their cookbook in order to make that recipe at home!

  190. 190

    Valerie C. says

    Apple Strudel is my favorite. I can’t get mine as perfect as my mother and grandmother’s, but, it’s my favorite dessert 🙂

  192. 192

    Della says

    I love apples in any form and to narrow it down to one dish is hard. But I really enjoy a good homemade apple pie with a nutty streusel topping. Yum. Thank you for your web site. Enjoy reading it each week.

  194. 194

    Kathy Anderson says

    Apple pie is the best. But if I had that yesterday, my choice today would be apple cake or apple brownies!

  195. 195

    Chris Nicholson says

    My new favorite (and our grandson’s favorite) is the aforementioned upside down pecan apple pie. My default favorite is apple crisp also called fruit paradise from a very old Joy of Cooking.

  196. 196

    Kris says

    My favorite is apple crisp — made your version last week to bring to work on my “bring breakfast for the team’ day and the dish was scraped clean by 10:30!

  197. 197

    Deb Nelson says

    I don’t need one of these as I already have one, but I can tell you it is fantastic if you have a lot of apples to process, or even just a few. When my kids were small (19 & 21 now) we used to go to the orchard to pick apples as a family outing. They loved it! I bought one of these and it was a lifesaver, well hand and wrist saver, LOL!
    I also works well with potatoes to make “curly fries” and then you just drop the “core” into your oil also.
    Oh, and my favorite apple recipe: well I have 3; Dutch apple pie, homemade apple butter and homemade apple fried pies. Yummy!
    Good luck to the winner. You will wonder why you never got one before now!

  198. 198

    Valerie Smits says

    I have two of the apple peeler corer slicer thingies, and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. I can do two ten inch deep dish apple pies, in twenty minutes, start to finish, homemade crust and all.

  199. 199

    Jay says

    My most favorite (and there are many) is my mom’s fried apples. So tender and sweet– we love them as a side with any pork dish. Add homemade baked Mac & cheese, & it’s a home run.

  202. 202

    kerry says

    fresh apple pie always but peeling apples by hands makes it hard to make all the time. ’tis the season right now for apple picking, and the smell it leaves in the house is heaven.

  203. 203

    Deanna says

    A family recipe for apple crisp is our favorite! This peeler would be something my kids would adore!

  204. 204

    krystyna says

    Anything Apples, best of all— Polish Apple Cake(shredded apples between 2 pastries) and next apple pie and Swedish apple pie-easy to make

  205. 205

    Ginger Blymyer says

    It has to be apple crisp for my favorite.

    I do like baked apples for the simplicity and that fact that it works on Weight Watchers.
    I love this page, thanks so much.

  207. 207

    Laci C says

    Oh my Aunt Angie makes a fantastic apple crumb crisp thingy with apple pie filling, yellow cake mix, and butter. It tastes soooo good. Very easy to make, too. If I had this apple peeler thingamajig, I would finally be able to make use of the apple trees in my yard.

  208. 208

    Deb Freesmeier says

    I LOVE apple pie! In fact, we just picked apples from our neighbors yard, and my girls are bugging me to make a pie. Why am I not excited about this venture? Yep, you guessed it! Peeling, coring, and slicing those 10 huge apples. Wish I had that super cool tool NOW!

  209. 209

    Billie Walker says

    Home made apple crisp is my all time favorite, then the apple cake, made with fresh whole chunks of apple, but, I totally love apple crisp, my recipe!!! I would LOVE 1 of these apple peelers to make that job faster, well, for ALL recipes, cuz this year for 1st time I am making apple butter, to go along with my blackberry jelly and strawberry jams I made this past summer and on the lookout for grapes also!!! Any idea where I can get grapes in souther middle Tennessee???

  222. 222

    Brenda B says

    Apple pie with lots of cinnamon and extra flaky crust-served warm. And not a desert–but so good a fresh apple fritter with coffee…yum, yum

  226. 226

    Dana Hutchinson says

    Apples & more Apples…can’t get enough of them…I love anything & everything made with apples…Dutch apple pie, Apple pie, & apple crisp as well, but one of my all time favorites is good old’ fashion Apple Fritters dusted with confectioner’s sugar. Brings back alot of good old memories from my childhood & truly warms the heart as well as my belly & tastebuds!

    Apple pie. My favorite part of making apple pie is stealing pieces of seasoned apples before I bake the pie. Apple pie served with the best vanilla ice cream I can find.

    David Deeds says

    My favorite apple dessert, you mean what do I have in the over right NOW, three apple pies, and I make apple turnovers two to three times a month when apples are season. I’ve look for a apple pealer in past and have tried several but I haven’t seen or found the one you are showing, looks like the real answer to my search. My friends next door sure would be happy if won the pealer so they wouldn’t have to peal all the apples, that’s the only way they get apple turnovers or a hot apple pie. lol

    Mama’s homemade apple crisp fresh from the oven with a scoop of French Vanilla ice cream on top! Yummy!

    Marjean Cline says

    Without a doubt, warm apple pie with the flakiest of crusts topped with a scoop of creamy real vanilla bean ice cream. Heaven on a plate!

    Lisa Curran says

    I love all things apple! Cider, sauce, (& hard cider!), cakes, bread, pies, bars… etc etc etc
    but if I had to pick a favorite – definitely baked stuffed apples in pastry wraps…. yum!

    Marie says

    My favorite apple dessert is:

    Apple cranberry bars with walnut crumb topping ( with cinnamon and lemon zest)!

    I must share this story with everyone. Fourteen years ago when I started dating my now wife, we were driving in the mountains of NC and ran across a farmer bringing in his apples straight from his trees, keep in mind Gina is from another country and had never bake before in her life. She insisted we get a bushel of apples so she could learn to bake an apple pie. The farmer was so taken by Gina he provide his grandmother recipe. Boy was she excited, so the next morning I had to leave, when I came back home Gina was in tears, not because she had flour everywhere, she had pealed the whole bushel of apple and didn’t know how long to cook them and they turn to apple sauce, “4+ gallons”. I try to calm her down, and the more I tried the more she cried, she said the only way for her to stop was for us to go back to the farmer so she could ask him and his wife questions about the cook time of apples. This was around noon that day, so off we go again to find the farmer, it was about a 3 hr drive to find him and she cried most of the way, but we made it. He welcomed all her questions and provided her with another bushel of apples free for her to try again with the promise she would bring him and his wife an apple pie. Gina had made enough pie crust for 10 pies and placed them in the freezer, so she didn’t have to go do that again. She peal almost the whole bushel again, but cooked just enough for two pies in case she messed up. We had guess coming to dinner that night and after dinner the brought out an apple pie I believe had to be the most picture perfect pie I had ever seen, and the taste was just out of this world. Now she knows how to bake an apple pie and insist on doing so when apples are in season. The next morning she is up and baking another apple pie for us to take to the farmer and his wife. We sit and enjoyed the afternoon eating apple pie and her learning all she could from his wife. Now we stop by offen to say hello and have a few laughs together.

    Oh with out a doubt it has to be your apple crumble/crisp. I’m not sucking up, its just that I live alone and I made A double batch and I’ve been eating it everyday.
    I’ve replaced my usual apple crumble with your recipe. I thank you for that. 🙂
    My rheumatoid/parkinson hands could sure use an apple peeler though. Crossing my fingers, sort of… 🙂

    Gretchen Uno says

    I live in an independent living facility and once a month we have a pot luck din din. The activity director said we were going to have spiral ham as the main course (Opportunities, the name of our place) always furnishes this the main dish and we bring dishes to compliment it. I saw your receipe for the Harvest Turnovers and thought this would be ideal. Guess what, this 74yo broad made 26 turnovers. I had to peel and core each one by hand. It wasn’t easy, but I did it. THEY TURNED OUT WONDERFULLY !! (not bragging, just telling the truth). I’m still getting compliments and this happened last Tuesday!!!! I did go ahead and make the filling on Sunday so I wouldn’t be so bogged down Tuesday morning having to do all of it at the same time. I sure wish I had had the apple peeler! 🙂 Thanks for a great receipe!

  262. 262

    Morgan says

    Apple pie like my grandmother used to make for her restaurant, piled high and baked in a double pate brisee crust. My neighbors have apple trees, Granny Smith and 2 others. Thanks for the giveaway, Kevin.

    Rene McConnehey says

    Apple Pizza,
    Use a pizza crust and fresh sliced apples, sprinkle with crumb topping and cook. After removing from oven drizzle with a thin coat of white frosting. Delish!

    Judy A. R. says

    I just Love hot apple pie a la mode !!!! still remember the very first time I had it as a kid, shopping with my mom we stopped at the deli counter in a drug store and the cook had just made apple pie, served it warm with vanilla ice cream, best thing I’d ever tasted 🙂

    OUR FAMILY’S SECRET RECIPE FOR APPLE CRISP. MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER MADE IT AND SOLD IT IN MY GRANDPARENTS RESTAURANT IN THE EARLY 20’S. WE STILL USE THE SAME RECIPE ALL THESE YEARS AND GENERATIONS LATER.

    Kate says

    No question what my favorite apple dessert is – it is your Apple Crisp!! I’ve been making this dessert all my adult life and your recipe brings it into Academy Award style, or whatever the dessert section of film would be.

    My family couldn’t stop talking about it and they don’t like to gush. 🙂

    Thanks for your wonderful blog and for the opportunity to have this great apple timesaver.

    Love,
    Kate

  273. 273

    Loma says

    My favorite and simplest apple dessert: fresh, crisp slices of Fuji apples. Second favorite would be an apple-cranberry or apple-raisin or apple-other-combination crumble or crisp, with not-too-much sugar and a touch of whipped cream.

  275. 275

    Kat says

    Apple crisp is definitely my favorite! I can’t wait until the temps cool down enough to use the oven more regularly so I can make some.

  276. 276

    My favorite is Apple Brown Betty and I sure could use that handy gadget considering that my hubby broke mine!

  279. 279

    Devon D. says

    Warm, spicy applesauce over premium vanilla ice cream! Second favorite would be room-temp apple pie with a chunk of Vermont Grafton sharp cheddar cheese.
    OK, hungry now – your fault!

    Perta Sennott says

    Hello Kevin, my favorite apple dessert is apple pie, but I plan to make your harvest turnovers! That might surpass pie!
    My golden delicious are ripening on the old tree here in golden Autumn light.

    Pam says

    Apple pie made with northern spies and my aunt’s crust of half lard and half butter. Unbelievable. The most amazing pie ever.

  287. 287

    Dana O'Connor says

    I love slightly warm apple pie in a flakey, buttery crust with some vanilla bean good quality ice cream on the side. Yum!

  290. 290

    Kate says

    I love many apple desserts, but my favorite has become simply baking chunks of apples in butter, cinnamon and sugar until soft, then spooning it over vanilla ice cream while still hot.

  291. 291

    Carolyn Contois says

    your harvest turnovers…. to die for! my son actually went out and got everything I needed for the recipe…..the apples were from the backyard…..it made them extra special.

  294. 294

    Jerica says

    I hate to be unoriginal, but I guess it’s my favorite because it’s so good and EVERYONE loves it! But I’ll give specifics on how I like my favorite apple dessert. My favorite is homemade apple pie, served the next day, cold, for breakfast, with a big glass of cold, full-fat raw milk!

  296. 296

    APPLE PIE for all birthday celebrations, Christmas, Easter–well, pratically ALL holidays and many days between!

    Michael Ferraro says

    Kevin;
    My favorite apple desert is a Apple Galette. It is simple and rustic while at the same time elegant and tasty.

  303. 303

    Sheri Rice says

    For those little pieces of less-than-perfect apple, I make chunky applesauce. On the stove all the end pieces go in a pan with butter, sugar and apple pie spice. Reduce down until you can’t stand it any longer and have to eat some. I can speak with great authority this is divine over vanilla ice cream, or from a spoon standing over the sink. it works well on pancakes, oatmeal, Mueslix… You will wish you had more of those half bruised apples. It freezes well too.

  304. 304

    Sheri Rice says

    Ps second favorite is an apple spice cookie my mom used to make with buttercream frosting. I never knew anyone else who made these at the holidays but they were my grandma’s recipe, light cookies with chunks of apple. A nice departure from the intense sugar treats at the holidays.

  305. 305

    Lynn Filipowicz says

    Apple Pie is my very favorite apple desert, I love apples anyway they can be fixed.and
    I would love to win the apple peeler.

  307. 307

    Viola Pieske says

    Apple Cake, Apple Pie, Apple Coffee Cake, Apple Sweet Rolls, Apple Fritters, do you get the point? I love apples and any sweets with apples. I have a Apple Pie you make with 3 lbs. of Granny Smith Apples with a crumb top and you bake it in a paper bag. You never sunk a tooth in such a delious pie.

  319. 319

    Tammie says

    My favorite is apple cinnamon coffee cake right out of the oven. Mmmmmmm! Thanks for the giveaway.

  327. 327

    joyce a says

    Mu favorite is country apple cake, a combination of yellow delicious apples, homemade toffee, and toasted pecans. It take 1hr 30 minutes to bake but soo worth the wait.

  332. 332

    Keila says

    I have 3 favorites… Mamaw’s homemade fried apple pies, boy are they delicious! I also love apple dumplings with ice cream. Last, but definately not least, apple butter made with the red hot cinnamon candies.

  333. 333

    Cilla says

    Baked apples with the center filled with cinnamon and chopped nuts and brown sugar. Pour some cream over it before you eat! Yum!

  341. 341

    Rachel says

    Love anything apple! But I REALLY want to win this because i’ve been spending HOURS peeling and slicing for dehydrated apple treats for my son’s lunch. And Apple Rhubarb sauce like my gramma used to make (you should try it! It’s incredible!).

  342. 342

    Robin says

    Dutch apple pie — warmed and a la mode with a good vanilla ice cream. I love the crumbly streusel topping as well as the flaky pie crust on the bottom and sides.

  346. 346

    Lorraine says

    Applesauce cheesecake with a toasted pecan graham craker crust and served with warm caramel pecan drizzle. Omg – no calories there! I made it once for Thanksgiving and now cannot attend a family get together in the fall without someone asking for it.

  347. 347

    Sonja Shelton says

    I’d have to say apple crisp, but I do plan to try the tart with apples and bacon. Who could go wrong with bacon, after all?

  353. 353

    Sue says

    My family, friends, co-workers and of course me always enjoy Praline-Apple Bread. It contains pecans and sour cream which makes it rich and moist. There isn’t butter or oil except in the drizzled glaze. It makes a wonderful gift. This bread freezes well too. Fresh out of the oven, trying sticking to just one slice!!

  356. 356

    Lou says

    My favorite is apple crisp. This peeler corer is great would love to own one. Thanks for a grea t website!

    Mary Lou says

    One of my sons has a “secret” Apple crisp recipe and it is by far the best that we have ever eaten!! He made it when he and his family were visiting last summer and we all went crazy for it!! Warm with vanilla ice cream is best but it works well with blueberries and peaches and any fruit as the secret is in the topping! (that part of the secret he told me!) YUM

  362. 362

    Laura says

    Apple Crisp, but a non-oatmeal topping recipe. Can’t help it– grew up with it and still think there is none finer. Bit I love ALL of your other recipes, Kevin. Looking forward to making your Cranberry Bars in another month or so. It’s still summer here in Oregon!

  367. 367

    Eleanor Woitowicz says

    My favourite apple dessert was apple pie until I tried your apple crisp recipe with home grown apples. It was absolutely delicious.I now have a new favourite.

  368. 368

    Denise in Colorado says

    Apple Struedel is my very fav! Apple pie is a close second… Reading all these makes me want a Carmel Apple too! 🙂

  369. 369

    Shawnie says

    Hi – Right now, our favorite apple dessert is – An applesauce spice cake! Not an ordinary recipe, mind you, it does not use granulated sugar. The sweetness for this one comes from apple cider, a mix of unsulfured dried fruit (w/o sugar added) and fall apple-pear sauce – preferably home-made, which I did tonight… yum, so good… I’ll have to go make on now… bye

  371. 371

    Tracy says

    Apple pie made with maple syrup is my absolute fall favorite! And, of course it has to be topped with vanilla custard ice cream!

    Sanldi says

    Warm apple crisp with a bit of cheddar cheese and a glass of red wine! I used to have one of these handy apple peelers—it was sadly left behind in PA during a move. 🙁 Great time saving gadget for making apple butter and sauce. Or, apple crisp!

  378. 378

    Nora McDowell says

    My favorite apple desert is definitely hot (well, warm) fresh baked Apple Pie and it makes an excellent breakfast too.

  379. 379

    My sister makes the most amazing apple pie. I have told her she needs to open her own pie shop.

    Apple crisp….no wait…apple sauce while it is still warm with granola….oh, no how about apple coffee cake….nope canned homemade apple pie filling so I can have apple pie when ever I want to.

    Janice says

    Warm Apple Crisp with LOTS of cinnamon served over vanilla ice cream with carmel topping!!

  386. 386

    Brab says

    I make Cinnamon Apple Rolls pretty much like Cinnamon rolls but I add my own pie filling recipe for them – while they are baking in milk & brown sugar I baste the tops with butter & more cinnamon & brown sugar then 1/2 way thru the baking I flip the rolls onto another pan and do the same with the other side – they are awesome!

  387. 387

    Arlene Slobecheski says

    I love to make an upside down apple pie called Brother Jonathan. It uses Jonathan apples, one pie crust and once it is baked and turned over I top it with a crumb mixture that has some shredded cheddar cheese in it. Yummy!

  389. 389

    Joyce says

    Love the storied comments, apple brown Betty
    Is my favorite! Can’t wait to make the apple turnovers.

  390. 390

    Trish says

    I have to say my own homemade apple pie is my very favorite. I flavor the ice water a little when I make the crust, and everyone just loves it!

  391. 391

    Eileen says

    I LOVED my grandmothers applecrisp. She never had a recipe, just a little bit of this and a little bit of that, with a pinch of something else. Now when I eat applecrisp I think of her even though nothing will be as delicious as hers.

  393. 393

    Tamela says

    Brown bag apple pie. My dear aunt gave me the recipe, you bake it inside a large brown grocery bag! Everyone loves it. 😉

  394. 394

    Marilyn Lisenbee(Sunny) says

    Apple Pie is my favorite – right out of the oven with a serving of vanilla ice cream.

  395. 395

    Terri H. says

    A family recipe called Apple Goody. It’s kind of like apple crisp but not crispy. One of these days I should compare it with a recipe for apple crisp to see what the difference really is.

  396. 396

    marilyn harrison says

    All that is apple….great memories. Used the apple peeler for 20 yrs. to produce daily Apple Struedel for my Cafe, Sweet Meadow. At Christmas, curly apple peel decorated our outside tree for the critters…

  397. 397

    Marge says

    It’s Apple Tart Tartin….but sometimes flipping it out of the heavy cast iron pan is a challenge.

  398. 398

    Cheryl Bush says

    I have never met an apple that I didn’t like! It’s a family tradition to go to the orchard to pick apples. My dad (who will be 87 next month) can’t want to get to the orchard next weekend. He can’t hardly walk, but he’s going to go pick apples! I love apple butter, apple crisp, apple cider, apple just about anything. But I think the best is Mom’s homemade apple pie right out of the oven!

  399. 399

    Nancy Lanouette says

    mmmmmm, definitely apple pie with a dash or two of nutmeg. Melt in your mouth crust, served warm with a slice of sharp cheese or scoop of creamy vanilla icecream. Most definitely the best part of Thanksgiving dinner was the deserts… Miss you lots Granny

  400. 400

    Paula says

    Apple Crisp is the most amazing dessert ever! it’s been passed down from generations and it’s my most favorite thing to bake. mmmmmm

  402. 402

    Anna Lapping says

    My mom’s Dutch Apple Pie. It has a regular bottom crust, but has a crumb topping much like a coffee cake. I love the way some of the chunks of topping are crispy and some are moist almost dumpling-like from the juices of the apples. I haven’t made one in years, but I could be persuaded….

  403. 403

    JoAnne Matzke says

    My favorite is Apple Crisp! I have to say, though; I like almost anything made with apples!

  407. 407

    Melody says

    It would have to be apple dumplings. My dad loved those and most people today don’t even know what they are!

  408. 408

    Amber says

    ohhh that is super nifty. I like homemade apple pie. I make it with 1/2 Macintosh and 1/2 granny smith apples. The mac cook into wonderful apple goo and the granny smith stay perfectly crisp. You get crunchy tart apple pieces with wonderful caramelized sweet goo filling. It’s not for everyone and the old folks say i’m doing it wrong… but oh i love it! The best thing i’ve ever made up. Give it a try and see if it is for you!

  412. 412

    Pat says

    Fall and apples, what a perfect pair. Some may not call it a dessert, but my mom’s apple pancakes are just terrific. I like to think of them as crisp apples fried in a tempura-like batter. Just a sprinkle of powder sugar or cin-sugar on top and you have the start of a great day.

    Thanks for the recipes. I can’t wait to try them.

  413. 413

    Cate! says

    Baked apples! A little butter, little cinnamon, sugar if needed, wrap in foil and bake. Yum!

    Cathy Ritter says

    My grandpa passed down his applesauce cake recipe that I have made for years for school functions, housewarmings, holidays…or just because. Created w/homemade applesauce made with Colorado western slope apples is divine! Now my grown children are making it for their friends and families. I’ve seen the peeler over the years and have always lusted after one!

  421. 421

    Cary Bradley says

    Hi Kevin! I’ve made your apple crisp 4 times since we picked apples 3 weeks ago and will make it again tonight. It is divine and we all adore it! My grandmother’s apple pie was to die for also, but I think the crumble top of a crisp is so much easier, it really rocks. I didn’t tell you that the first time I made it, I ate spoonsful of the brown sugar, butter flour, oatmeal mix and almost made myself sick, it was soooo good :). Kevin, I love this peeler and think we need one in our kitchen. Did I miss where you purchased it? Happy Fall!

  423. 423

    Homemade apple pie…with or without raisens is equally delicious. Would love one of these apple corer-peeler-slicers!

    Apple crisp or crumble! I’m going to Darcie Rzomp’s for breakfast, though…….

    Pam Pieters says

    I’m with Nancy (#26), that it’s a toss up between apple butter and apple brown betty, but the recipe for La Tart Tartin’ looked so good that I am going to choose it. Can’t wait to serve it at Thanksgiving. Yum! I’ll need to test the recipe a few times before the big day.

  446. 446

    Kathy V. says

    Warm apple crustada in flaky puff pastry served with vanilla bean ice cream and a drizzle of homemade caramel sauce. Or homemade apple pie still warm from the oven. Or apple crisp, homemade apple sauce, or even a plain ol’ apple with caramel sauce. If it’s apple, I’m in!

    Apple Danish is my favorite, its apple pie made in a cookie sheet. Equals to about 3 pies, and all in one pan.

    My favorite is cranberry apple pie but for a quick fix I’ll add a couple of tablespoons of homemade apricot jam to a bowl of homemade applesauce. Try it, it’s good! Peach and applesauce works too.

  459. 459

    walt says

    Apple pie…but with walnuts (just add a handful – or more – of small walnut pieces to your favorite apple pie filling).

    carol a landrua says

    My whole family’s favorite apple recipe is my grandma’s, ” apple crunch cake”! It is now being enjoyed by a 5th generation, my grandchildren! I always make it using lots of fresh apples & because I make it often, an apple- corer- slicer would make the job a whole lot easier! Thanks!

  462. 462

    Richard W says

    My wife’s Dutch Crumb apple pie is the best!! I planted 4 apple trees last winter, I hope to be enjoying her pies forever!

    The best thing to do with apples is to make Dr. Oetker’s Apfelstrudel. Easy fast and divine.

  464. 464

    Old Fashioned Apple Pie is the best. I use my grandmothers recipe for crust and get rave reviews from family and friends.

    I love most apple dishes, but my favorite would have to be warm apple crisp with vanilla ice cream.

  482. 482

    Cricket says

    My mom’s fried apple pies, made from apples that she dried on sheets placed on top of our smoke house roof. She would lay the slices out flat on the sheets, and take them in every evening so the dew would not settle on them. She did this every day until the apples were dried and then she would seal them in quart jars. Oh how I miss those pies!!

  485. 485

    Barb Polski says

    I love everything apple!! but my favorite is Apple Pie.
    I also like homemade applesauce and apple butter.

    Hard call to make here as I love apple anything…but if I have to select favorite it would be Dutch Apple Pie.

    Handmade warm deep dish apple pie with extra sharp cheddar cheese. The Shakers were were so ingenious and hard-working!

    Apple cranberry crisp with vanilla ice cream is a wonderful dessert. The cranberries keep it from being too sweet. I love making applesauce with Macintosh apples, but usually serve that with pork chops or a pork roast. But my winter splurge, calorie-wise, is apple pancakes with butter and cinnamon sugar on top. Talk about comfort food.

    Apple Pie with crispy crumb topping. A little vanilla ice cream on top makes it better!

    The apple cake my mom made from scratch when I was a kid, that she, of course, has no recipe for. Used to eat it with milk on it. Yum.

    My favorite apple recipe is: Apple harvest cake(spices and nuts) with a Homemade Caramel Sauce. I used to make a double batch whenever I took it to work. The sauce is also good on ice cream. Yum. I think I’ll go make one tonight.
