7 Ways To Use Fresh Apples

We have a family tradition of going apple picking each fall. When we lived in South Carolina we would travel up to the gorgeous North Carolina mountains and go apple picking at the cutest family owned and operated apple orchard.

When we moved to North Carolina we continued that tradition…now that we live in Wisconsin, we’ve had to change our traditions.

But one thing remains the same…delicious apples each year!

We also pick a ton, definitely way too many. Often times I’ve had to throw away many of the apples because I didn’t have enough ways to use them up. But over the years of picking apples, I’ve come up with a collection of recipes that I love to use the apples in!

Here are some of my favorite apple recipes…that I’m certain you will love too!
