Title: Leaflet No. 312: Apples in Appealing Ways Author: Anonymous Release Date: May 24, 2021 [eBook #65439] Language: English Character set encoding: UTF-8 Produced by: Stephen Hutcheson, Lisa Corcoran and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net *** START OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK LEAFLET NO. 312: APPLES IN APPEALING WAYS *** _APPLES in appealing ways_ _Leaflet No. 312 U. S. Department of Agriculture_ _Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics_ _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._ KNOW YOUR APPLES: TWELVE OF THE WIDELY MARKETED VARIETIES VARIETY SEASON SIZE AND DESCRIPTION USE Baldwin November Medium to large.

APPLES IN THE MAIN COURSE Baked acorn squash with apples To give a sharper flavor to the mild acorn.... 2 small acorn squashes ¼ cup brown sugar 3 cups chopped apple Nutmeg ½ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons table fat Cut squash in halves and scoop out seeds. Place squash in a baking dish; fill centers with apple. Pour a little water into the dish. Cover and bake at 350° F. (moderate oven) 30 minutes, or until partly done. Sprinkle with salt, sugar, and nutmeg, and dot with fat. Bake uncovered about 45 minutes, or until the squash is soft. Four servings. Apple fritters Fritters are special, and especially good with any lean meat—cold sliced or hot ... 1 cup sifted flour 1 egg, beaten ½ teaspoon salt ½ cup milk 1½ teaspoons baking powder 1 tablespoon melted fat 1 cup thinly sliced apples 1 tablespoon sugar Fat for deep-fat frying Sift together flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Combine egg, milk, and fat. Add to the dry ingredients all at once, stirring only enough to moisten. Stir in the apples. Drop by spoonfuls into hot fat (350°-375°F.) and cook until browned. Serve with sirup or sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar. Eight small fritters. Apple stuffing One way to bring together the ever-popular pork and apple team.... ¼ cup diced salt pork ½ cup chopped onion ¼ cup chopped parsley 5 medium-size tart apples, diced ½ cup sugar 2 cups soft bread cubes Cook salt pork in a fry pan until crisp, and remove from fat. Cook onion and parsley in the fat for a few minutes. Place apples in the pan, sprinkle with sugar. Cover and cook until tender, then continue cooking uncovered a few minutes until apples are candied. Add salt pork and bread cubes; heat through. Yield: 3 cups stuffing. _Ways to use apple stuffing...._ Pile hot stuffing between two sections of spareribs, skewer them together, and bake. Or use to stuff a boned shoulder of fresh pork. One-half of this recipe will stuff four large pork chops, with enough left over to cook on top of the chops. Apple relish Easy to make ... no cooking.... 1 cup finely chopped unpared apples 1 cup finely shredded cabbage ½ cup finely chopped celery 1 tablespoon chopped green pepper ⅓ cup sugar 3 tablespoons vinegar ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ginger ¼ teaspoon mustard Dash of cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon chopped canned pimiento Mix apples, cabbage, celery, and green pepper. Combine sugar, vinegar, spices, and pimiento. Add to apples and vegetables and mix lightly but thoroughly. Yield: 2 cups. 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 minutes, stirring frequently. Slowly stir into egg. Return to heat and cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Cool slightly. Mash cream cheese with fork; beat into cooked mixture. Chill. Yield: 1 cup. APPLES IN BREAD Applesauce bran muffins Softer than most bran muffins.... 1¼ cups sifted flour 3 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons sugar 1 cup bran 1 egg, beaten ⅓ cup milk ⅔ cup applesauce ¼ cup melted fat Sift together flour, baking power, salt, and sugar. Mix in bran. Combine egg, milk, applesauce, and fat. Add to the dry ingredients all at once, stirring only enough to moisten. Fill greased muffin pans two-thirds full. Bake at 400° F. (hot oven) about 20 minutes. Makes about 12 medium-size muffins. Applesauce whole-wheat muffins. Use same recipe, replacing bran with 1 cup whole-wheat flour and using 1 cup applesauce. Do not try to sift this flour. For a different flavor. Add 1 teaspoon grated orange rind to the milk. Apple griddlecakes Brighten any breakfast or supper.... 1½ cups sifted flour 1½ teaspoons baking powder ¾ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar 1 egg, beaten 1 cup milk 2 tablespoons melted fat 2 cups very finely chopped apples Sift dry ingredients together. Combine the egg, milk, and fat. Add gradually to the dry ingredients; stir only until batter is smooth. Fold in apples. Drop by spoonfuls onto a hot greased griddle. Cook slowly until the surface is covered with bubbles, turn, and cook until the bottom is well-browned. Makes about 18 medium-size griddlecakes. APPLES IN COOKIES A piece of cut apple in the cookie jar is a familiar device to keep cookies from drying out quickly. These applesauce cookies have the moisture and fruit flavor built in.

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 pie 6 medium-size tart apples, quartered ¾ to 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons table fat Pastry for 9-inch pie Pare, core, and slice the apples. Line a piepan with pastry. Place a 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. French apple pie. Mix 1 cup seedless raisins with the apples and reduce the sugar to ½ cup. To frost, mix ½ cup confectioners’ sugar with 2 teaspoons water and spread over top crust of cooled pie.

Continue beating until mixture stands in soft peaks. Spread between layers and over top and sides of cake. _Variations._ When frosting is ready to spread, stir in ½ cup chopped pecans or hazelnuts, or shredded almonds. For a more festive cake, sprinkle ¼ cup pink-tinted shredded coconut over the top after frosting is spread. APPLE SNACKS As a snack, or a fruity appetizer for tea, use apple slices spread with a topping. Applewiches they are sometimes called, especially when a 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.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
