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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!
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.

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 🙂

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!)

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!
KIrstie says
Ohhhh definitely Maple Apple Crisp!
Denise Desanti says
Apple crisp! Hands down! My whole family loves it!!!
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.
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.
Tina says
Homemade apple butter!
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!

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!
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.

A recipe adaptation from Carol Ann – April 30, 2012

• 1/2 cube butter – melted

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.
Annie says
Apple Butter and chopped Pecans on a slice of warm french baguette bread.
jayedee says
love love love to slice up apples, dust them with cinnamon and sugar and make apple chips in my excaliber dehydrator! yum!
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.
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!
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!!!!
Vicky C says
I love Apple Pie!

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!

Edna Phillips says
Warm apple pie with ice cream!!!

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)
Lisa h. H. says
I love to make my grandmother’s apple pie recipe with caramel and nuts on top! Yum
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!
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.
Verilee Herpich says
Apple Pie.
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!
Nicola says
My favourite is an English apple crumble, hopefully with hot custard on top!
Dee says
Bavarian Apple Torte is my favorite. It’s sort of a cross between a cheese cake and apple pie.

I’m kind of old school. Apple Crisp for me. Warm and fresh from the oven with vanilla ice cream. Nothing else like it!
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!!!!!!!!
Allison K says
I’m a sucker for a warm Apple Crisp or an Apple Turnover….not too sweet, lots of cinnamon.
Marinel says
Stuedel, I could eat my weight in it everyday!

I like pretty much anything with apples, but especially like the apple tarts my brother makes. Mmm Mmmm Good!
Linda in San Antonio TX says
Apple slices spread with peanut butter
Ashley Pauls says
Apple Crunchy warmed with some milk poured over it MMmmMmmm. My Gram’s is the best!
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!
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.
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.

APPLE DUMPLINGS WITH A THICK VANILLA SAUCE
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.
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!
Sue says
I love all the apple deserts but my favorite is just plain fresh apple..my doggie & I eat one every day….
Gene says
Without a doubt is a Dutch Apple pie…ala mode, of course!
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.
Cara says

Jennifer says
Apple Crisp definitely but I want to make apple butter and this gadget would make that SO much easier! Please!
Tanya says
Apple crisp!
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!
Amy says
Apple crisp is my fave! But I do loathe the peeling-this would help!
Louise Brouillette says
Classic Apple Pie is still my fav! I subscribe to your email newsletter and follow you on FB and Twitter.
NorseArcher 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!
Heather says
My husbands homemade apple pie and my apple crisp tie for favorites around our house!
Gail says
Apple crisp without a doubt 🙂
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 🙂
Melissa says
Apple dumplings, hands down!
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.
Susan Assel says
Apple crisp! YUM!!!
Kathy Anderson says
Apple pie is the best. But if I had that yesterday, my choice today would be apple cake or apple brownies!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Nancy VanDyke says
Apple pie and apple crisp, I guess I have two favorites. I just plain love apples.
Melinda says
Apple dapple cake. I really enjoy your emails. Love your garden.

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.

Apple crisp. But I also LOVE so I need to try the harvest turnover you mentioned.
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.
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!
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???

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

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.
David
Mary Walker says
My favorite is apple anything, but if I have to pick one it’s a toss between apple pie and apple pancakes.
Karen says
A warm apple turnover with a glass of apple wine brandy!
Syl Grant says
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… 🙂
Pam says
Slightly warm homemade applesauce, no sugar added.
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!
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.

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
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.
Leslie W says
OOooo….. so many yummy apple treats to choose from. Apple custard pie!

Ruth Kreller says

w owens says
apple crisp with extra cinnamon and apple cider home made
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.
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.
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.
Kate says
MMmm your harvest turnovers are the bestest!
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.

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.

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
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!

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! 🙂
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
Marilyn Foster says
Warm Dutch Apple pie with homemade caramel topping. I’m already drooling!

pam doughty says
Apple crisp for sure……. Yummy with a scoop of ice cream. 🙂
Nora McDowell says
My favorite apple desert is definitely hot (well, warm) fresh baked Apple Pie and it makes an excellent breakfast too.

Warm Apple Crisp with LOTS of cinnamon served over vanilla ice cream with carmel topping!!
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!
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!
Cassandra Suarez-Hanson says
Apple crisp is my favorite.
Joyce says
Love the storied comments, apple brown Betty

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!
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.
Myrna Daniel says
I love frried apple pies…..hot!

Brown bag apple pie. My dear aunt gave me the recipe, you bake it inside a large brown grocery bag! Everyone loves it. 😉
Marilyn Lisenbee(Sunny) says
Apple Pie is my favorite – right out of the oven with a serving of vanilla ice cream.
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.
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…
Marge says
It’s Apple Tart Tartin….but sometimes flipping it out of the heavy cast iron pan is a challenge.
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!
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
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
David says
apple crisp, of couse, with a glob of french vanilla ice cream on top 🙂
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….
JoAnne Matzke says
My favorite is Apple Crisp! I have to say, though; I like almost anything made with apples!
Laurie says
My grandmothers apple cake! Especially while its still warm.

Sandy Evans says
Apple Crisp Pizza by the Girl Who Ate everything with vanilla ice cream!
Melody says
It would have to be apple dumplings. My dad loved those and most people today don’t even know what they are!
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!
Jody says
Apple Dumplings hot out of the oven with vanilla bean and a dollap of caramel

DFW says
Apple Crisp!
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.
Cate! says
Baked apples! A little butter, little cinnamon, sugar if needed, wrap in foil and bake. Yum!

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!
Joanne says
Apple Fritters. Thanks for the chance to win.
Lolo says
Tarte tatin!
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!
Ann Knott says
I love all apple desserts, but my absolute favorite is apple dumplings.

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.
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!

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.

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!
Darlene in North GA says
It’s a toss-up between a fried apple pie and an apple cake I once ate. Either one is delicious!

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!!

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