It's getting to be Apple Time here in the Mid-Atlantic; and the P&G email newsletter recently had a clever way of serving things in apple cups:

For the see-and-do folks, here's a video of how it's done:

And to go in them, from the great 'Pick Your Own' site - Cider, which I've never made, but it doesn't look more difficult than any other simple canning; and there's also a link in the article for making fermented and hard cider ;-):

And last, a very simple recipe for Apple Fritters, from Allrecipes:

If our drought ceases (will it ever?) and the heat dies down, I may start to think about autumn food, my favorite. But apples are starting to appear in the farmer’s markets.

Apple Brown Betty?? Baked apple with brown sugar and stuff?
I love baked apples!
That picture of apples with cinnamon looks great also. A bit of brandy or some other adult beverage in there? Hard apple cider I bet. :)
LOL! Now you’ve excited my eternal fear of poisoning people with my canning ;-)
I will be careful, and intrepid!
I hadn’t thought of anything but Cider - but some apple-y adult beverage would be very fine on a chilly Autumn evening, beside your first fire of the season ;-)
“Intrepid” in thinking of whom you could off? :)
Is canning tomatoes a cooking or garden topic? LOL
Somebody here said they did it with salt (some say lemon juice).
I would be a first-time canner with no pressure devices; counting on the cooling of the hot liquid to vacuum-seal.
It can’t be that difficult; folks were doing this in the 1930’s and before.
All advice appreciated. I won’t have a lot but want to try if I am able.
Intrepid in terms of overcoming my fears. When I was a young starting-out cook and a relative gave me my first avocado to cut, I asked, “What’s the proper approach to an avocado?”
She said, ‘Full Speed Ahead!”

Pork Chops with Apple Towers.
Brown the 1” chops on both sides. Place each on a baking dish on top of a 1/4 cup mound of cinnamon apple sauce. On top of each chop place a cored apple pre-prepared with cored out area filled with brown sugar and raisins. Sprinkle with some ground cloves. Bake at 375 for about 40 minutes. Temp probe the chops for internal temp the first couple of times. Tent with foil during cooking.
I bought a bag of apples at the farmers’ market today. Can’t wait to see all the recipes :-).
If you haven’t done much canning - I have done very little, myself - I would suggest the Ball Canning website, full of information:

There’s also ‘The Bible’:
I’ve been a teetotaler most of my adult life; I started waitressing a year ago and sometimes fill in as bartender. Some of those drinks look so good that I’m changing my ways. Your suggestion of brandy with hot apple cider almost has me looking forward to cooler temps. Almost...this is Minnesota after all and winter is long and brutal!
It’s theorized that the symptoms of mycotoxin ingestion in rye lead to the Salem Witch Trials in 1692.
It’s also been thought to cause the outbreak in Middle Ages the disease was known as “St. Anthony’s fire,”. Heck, It’s been traced backed to causing major problems since the ancient Greeks.
I think your post is a really good heads up. Fungus among us should be avoided! Thanks!
Fungis are a whole nother story!!!
Used to be able to get this great hard apple cider but stores quit carrying it. Closest thing to it I’ve found is Jack Daniels Honey liquor which is a mild form of Yukon Jack.
Got it. Printed and pasted to a file card. TNX!!!
