Food: Eleven Apple-y Things To Cook

How does it go with you and apples?

When I was growing up, I was totally in love with fresh apples straight-from-the-tree. I lived in Tasmania and there was roadside stall after roadside stall along the country roads.  The apples were crunchy, juicy and full of flavour, picked fresh and grown simply.

Then I grew up, and apples changed. They were often dry and powdery. They were spongey. They lacked all the apple-y things that I’d grown up loving. I was SHOCKED!

Granted, it’s mostly supermarket and cheap market apples that taste and feel like that. If you buy your apples direct from the farm gate, or from a reputable organic shop, they’ll surely be all about the aforementioned juice and crunch.  Of course they won’t be $2 a bag like the apples of my childhood, but often you really DO get what you pay for, and I’ll pay for flavour any day!
