In Season: Apples
They're juiced, milled for apple cider and filtered for apple juice. The famous fruit also plays a key role as a filling for numerous tasty desserts, ranging from apple crisp to the ever-popular apple pie. Would food (or life) be the same without the apple? We think not. And there's no better time of the year to eat them.Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 140: Can Dried Fruit Be Diet Food?
Lately I have taken to eating raisins and dried tart cherries as snacks. I normally eat lots of locally grown apples and pears this time of year, but for some reason my local markets, Fairway and Citarella, have had little or no local apples. What's up with that? It's apple and pear season in the Northeast, but not at these markets apparently. Normally I hit my local Greenmarkets on Saturday and/or Sunday, but I've been traveling most weekends for the book, so that hasn't been an option.How to Make Dried Apple Chips
Before the chillier temps set in and we all start (at long last) on pie, tart and crumble baking, here's how I'll be satisfying my fruit fetish: airy, delicate slices, crisp and almost candied, tinged with just the slightest bit of oven-brown on the edges. Let's make apple chips!Quiz: How Much Do You Know About Apples?
Who hasn't walked into the grocery store and been overwhelmed by all the apple varieties? From the familiar Gala and Golden Delicious to the more poetic names, like Spitzenberg or Belle de Boskop. Whether you prefer tart or sweet, it's time to say hello to apple season. But before you crunch into one, see how much you know about them. Take the quiz! »5 Ways To Eat More Apple Salads
Apples and I have a bit of an Elizabeth Bennett-Mr. Darcy Pride and Prejudice type of relationship: hate at first sight, followed by reluctant appreciation, then passion. With apple-picking season upon us, incorporating apples into salads seems natural. Of course, you can choose whatever apple is local and suits your taste preference, but I must say that I find apples specifically designed for eating like Pink Ladies, Fujis, and Empires to be my favorites.Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 137: Can Apple Eating Help My Diet?
It's September, which means it's prime apple picking and eating season in most parts of the country, New York included. I love a freshly picked apple bought at my local farmer's market for many reasons. They're crisp and juicy and so flavorful. They're relatively low cal and they are reasonably nutritious. Finally, they fill me up so that I eat fewer seriously delicious, more calorically dangerous things.Serious Salad: Waldorf Redux
I hate to consign a classic to the compost heap of history. I'm giving the Waldorf another try. First of all, I'm nixing the mayo. For a vegetarian version, use Fage Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lemon juice. It's healthier and higher in protein, and tastes better.Snapshots from Seattle: 'Applanche' at Pike Place Market
A portmanteau I can get behind. [Photo: Carey Jones] There's nothing worse than that moment when you grab one apple and the whole careful stack gives way. An avalanche of apples—or, as this sign at Pike Place Market says, an applanche. Note to self: find more occasions to use this word....What Is Ice Cider?
"One sip locks in so much apple flavor. It's as if you were drinking the juice from ten apples in one gulp—multiplied by alcohol." Apples need to reach popsicle temperatures before they're fermented for ice cider. [Flickr: rabasz] Ice cider, or cidre de glace as its known in its birth place of Quebec, is kind of a cross between ice wine and hard cider. Like ice wine, the fruit (apples, not grapes, in this case) are left on the vine during chilly winters until they shrivel up. This produces the sweetest nectar possible. The super-concentrated juices are then pressed and fermented to add a little zing. The alcohol content usually ranges between 7% and 13% per volume.
