Serving Suggestions:

• John’s update this week included a special note for this with a fruit share. If you’re about to receive this unexpected batch of apples and didn’t have a recipe in mind, I share a few non-pie Thanksgiving Serving Suggestions below:
  • Here’s an eye catching dessert, Baked Apples by Simple Recipes, they are baked whole and full of familiar fall flavors.
  • Apple butter would be an interesting addition to the Thanksgiving table. I can see it warmed with some buttery dinner rolls, or as an alternative condiment to cranberry sauce for the tart-averse. If you have family staying over, smear it on your favorite breakfast carb before Black Friday shopping.
  • If you’re planning to serve a green salad with your Thanksgiving meal, add some sliced apples. They’ll provide some crunch and a sweetness that complements a punchy vinegar-forward dressing. Bonus points if you have some shredded or diced cheddar in your salad to lean into the classic combo.
