Sweet and Savory Apple Recipes

Breakfast: Apple Pie Breakfast Cookies

Dessert before breakfast? It sounds crazy, but these apple pie breakfast cookies actually pack a nutritional punch to start the day. With oats, apples, and flaxseed, they're great for kids and adults alike.

Recipe from Kristine's Kitchen.

Ingredients for Apples

  • 2 cups unpeeled apples, finely chopped into ¼-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Ingredients for Cookies
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup oat flour (to make at home, process oats in food processor until finely ground)
  • ½ cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the ingredients for apples. Cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples have softened.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, flour, flaxseed, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, honey or maple syrup, egg, and vanilla. Whisk in the melted butter.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Then, fold in the cooked apples and sauce.
  6. Place ¼ cup portions of dough onto the baking sheet. Gently flatten each cookie, as they won't spread while cooking.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes until cookies are set and lightly golden.
  8. Leftover cookies can be stored in the freezer for up to two months.

Lunch: Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese

Pairing salty, smoky bacon with crisp apples and gooey cheese is one of the most delightful combos you can create. This apple bacon grilled cheese sandwich is a great way to use apples in a savory way. Plus, it skips the butter so you can make it outdoors when it's too chilly to soften butter!

Recipe from Fresh Off the Grid.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bread
  • 2 slices bacon, cut in half
  • 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
  • ½ apple, thinly sliced
Method
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and cook the bacon until the fat has rendered and bacon is crisp. Keep grease in pan but remove bacon to a plate lined with paper towels.
  2. Turn the heat up to medium and add two slices of bread. On each slice of bread, layer half the cheese, apples, and bacon, then top with second slices of bread.
  3. Cook until the bottom slice of bread is golden and the cheese has begun to melt. Flip and cook other side to the same level of doneness.

  5. Unfold puff pastry sheets and trim each sheet into a square. Then, cut each square into four smaller squares. Spoon apples onto the center of each square. Fold over from corner to corner in a triangle shape and use a fork to seal the edges together. Place turnovers one inch apart on baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes until turnovers are puffed and lightly browned.
  7. While the turnovers cool, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl to make a glaze. When turnovers are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over top.
