Today is National Apple Day and I couldn’t be happier!
You see, apples are the absolute best fruit. They are so versatile you can do pretty much anything with them, from simply eating them to dipping, stuffing, baking, frying to sweet treats and savory dishes. Apples, or apple sauce, can even be used in your cake batter mix to save on calories and to help add moisture.
Apples have other uses too, from being a natural sugar softener (add a slice to hard brown sugar in a seal container for 24hrs to soften the sugar). You can even use them to help ripen other fruits such as bananas, tomatoes and hard avocados, yes, these are all fruits. Apples release a high concentration of ethylene gas. Just place an apple in a paper bag with the other fruit and seal it up best you can, leave it overnight and the fruit will be ripe.
