                       _APPLES in appealing ways_


Almost everyone enjoys apples. And there are so many ways to use apples
that a family need never tire of them.

This leaflet is designed to supplement the better-known apple recipes
given in many cook books. You will find here some new apple adventures
and some variations on favorite ways of using the fruit. Recipes calling
for applesauce and apple juice are included.

All recipes have been developed or adjusted by research methods, to
arrive at up-to-date, dependable directions.


Nutritionally speaking

Many families eat apples liberally, for apples regularly take top or
second rank among the country’s most widely used fruits.

Eaten in generous quantities, especially raw, apples can provide some
vitamin C. The food value, however, varies considerably, depending on
such factors as variety, storage conditions—temperature and length of
keeping—and finally the way the fruit is kept and served at home.

A small or medium-size apple makes a very pleasant low-calorie dessert
in many homes.


Choose your apples

To get the most in apple enjoyment, look for a variety that suits family
taste and the uses you have in mind.

Many varieties are good for all purposes—general cooking, baking whole,
eating raw. Tart, firm apples are generally best liked for cooking;
sweeter apples, for eating raw. (See table on pages 4 and 5 for
descriptions of 12 well-known varieties.)

Early summer apples are likely to be juicy, tart, and quick-cooking ...
especially good in applesauce and pies.

Don’t forget that apples that are tart and firm when picked in autumn
become less crisp and snappy if stored through the winter.

In some areas, windfalls and culls are sold at bargain rates. To make
sure you have a real bargain, stop, look, and consider how you will use
the fruit. Bruises and skin breaks mean waste, and apples damaged this
way are poor risks for home canning. Best uses for them are in jelly,
apple butter, or cider.

Skin russeting ordinarily does not affect apple quality.

If apples are to be bought in large quantity, it is better to buy a few
at first, to try out, to see whether they have the flavor and texture
you want.


Store for good keeping

Apples are noted for good keeping qualities, but it takes a little care
to hold them at their best in home storage.

_Short storage_ (a few days to 2 weeks): Keep firm apples in a cool
place, 60° to 70° F. Keep mellow-ripe apples in the refrigerator.

_Longer storage_ (up to several months): If you have plenty of cool- or
cold-storage space, where temperature remains the same and the air is
rather moist, you can probably save money by storing autumn-picked
apples in quantity at home.

Sort carefully to remove apples with bruises and skin breaks. Use these
promptly. Divide the sound apples into half-bushel lots and store at 32°
F. If you cannot provide this kind of storage, use your coldest storage
space, where there is no danger of the fruit freezing.

_Most recipes in this leaflet provide four servings; a few provide
more._

  1 tablespoon melted fat
  1 cup thinly sliced apples

                      APPLES IN SALAD AND DRESSING


When something firm and crisp is wanted in salad, along with fruity
flavor, apples are just the thing. They make likable combinations with
more salad foods than most people ever try. Salads in this section
include meat, cheese, fruits, and vegetables—even the onion, for onion
lovers.

Don’t let apples darken. Raw apple when cut often darkens from exposure
to air. Some nuts also make raw apple darken, especially if the fruit
has come in contact with iron in a knife blade or chopper.

So, when cutting apples for salad, protect them from darkening by mixing
the pieces with fruit juice—lemon, orange, grapefruit, or
pineapple—before adding other ingredients. Or, mix with salad dressing
at once, for a protective coating.

Some like it tart. To give a sharper tang to a salad, especially if
apples are mild in flavor, use a tart oil dressing, lemon juice, or a
sour cream dressing.


Jellied Waldorf salad

Mix diced tart apples, chopped celery, and nuts. Fold into a partially
thickened gelatin mixture. For 2 cups of the apple mixture, use 1
package of gelatin dessert powder and 2 cups of water. Chill until firm.


Fruit salad with onion

Core unpared apples and slice in thin cross sections. Arrange on salad
greens with orange slices and onion rings. Serve with a clear, tart oil
dressing.


Apple slaw

Moisten equal amounts of chopped apples and finely shredded cabbage with
sour-cream dressing.

_Variations_. If desired, season the dressing with a little horseradish,
or add coarsely ground peanut butter.


Main dish salads with apple

Mix 1 cup diced or sliced raw apple with ½ cup celery and 1 cup of any
of the following: Flaked tuna fish (7-oz. can); chopped cooked pork,
ham, veal, chicken, turkey; diced cheese. Moisten with tart french
dressing or mayonnaise and serve in lettuce cups. Four servings.

_For a jellied salad._ Fold the above ingredients—except the
dressing—into a partially thickened gelatin mixture made from a package
of lemon or lime gelatin dessert powder and 2 cups of water. Chill.
Serve with the dressing. Jellied this way, the recipe makes 6 servings.


Dessert salad

Sprinkle diced apples with lemon juice. Add chopped dates, raisins, or
grapes. Mix with marshmallows or cream cheese cut in small cubes.


Apple juice salad dressing

For fruit salads....

  ¼ cup sugar
  2 tablespoons cornstarch
  ¼ teaspoon salt
  Juice 1 lemon
  1 cup apple juice
  1 egg, well beaten
  1 3-ounce package cream cheese

Mix dry ingredients, add fruit juices, and blend. Cook over hot water 20

                           APPLES IN DESSERTS


When it comes to desserts, apples are in their glory, and the cook can
always find a way to prepare them that fits right in with her plans. She
can make desserts with apples raw or cooked, applesauce, juice, or
canned slices. Apple desserts can be hot or cold ... quick to fix, or
time-consuming but well worth it.

Recipes given here provide examples of the many ways of topping off the
meal with apples.


Baked apples

Core apples without cutting through the blossom end. Pare apples
one-third of the way down.

Place apples in a baking dish. Sprinkle the holes lightly with salt, and
add 1 tablespoon sugar to each apple. Top with table fat and sprinkle
sugar over pared portion of apples.

Pour enough water in bottom of dish to keep apples from sticking.

Bake uncovered at 400° F. (hot oven) about 1 hour, or until apples are
tender.


                             _For variety_

1. Fill the apples with chopped fresh cranberries and bake.

2. Fill centers with crushed pineapple. After baking, top apples with
marshmallows and return to oven for a few minutes.

3. Serve with a topping of cream cheese softened with cream and beaten
until fluffy.


Apple-cheese dessert

  5 cups apple slices (pared)
  1 tablespoon lemon juice
  ¾ cup sugar
  ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  ½ cup sifted flour
  ¼ teaspoon salt
  ¼ cup table fat
  ⅔ cup grated cheese

Fill pie pan or shallow baking dish with apples; sprinkle with lemon
juice and ¼ cup of the sugar.

mixture is granular. Stir in cheese. Spread over apples.

minutes.

Cool before cutting to serve.

Serve with plain cream or ice cream, if desired.

Six servings.


Dessert apple slices

Slice pared apple quarters. Put slices into pan and add enough water to
half cover apples. Add a few grains of salt and 2 to 4 tablespoons of
sugar for each apple used. Put the cover on and cook gently until apples
are tender—20 to 30 minutes. Serve chilled, plain or with cream. Or,
bake some of the drained slices in custard (p. 15).

  ¾ to 1 cup sugar
  1 teaspoon cinnamon
  1 teaspoon salt

layer of apples over the bottom; sprinkle with a mixture of the sugar,
cinnamon, and salt. Dot with fat. Repeat until all ingredients are used.

Cover with pastry that has a few slits in the center so steam can
escape; seal edges.

Bake at 425° F. (hot oven) 40 to 50 minutes, or until apples are tender
and crust is well-browned.

second apple slice is placed over the topping.

To prepare the slices, core the apple and cut thick rounds, leaving the
colorful peel on. Toppings include—

Soft sharp cheese ... cream cheese with strawberry jam or chopped nuts
... peanut butter and mayonnaise ... sliced ham, chicken, or turkey, or
any of these meats ground and mixed with mayonnaise.
