It is officially fall today, and I have a huge box of apples from my mom and dad's place that needs to be used up and so I have been looking for recipes with apples! Here is the latest two.
Butternut Squash and Apple Soup
adapted from All Recipes
1 Butternut Squash, peeled and diced.
1 onion, diced
1 apple, cored and diced
1 potato, peeled and diced
handful diced carrots (around 1 cup)
4 cups broth ( I used Better then Bullion Vegetable flavor)
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup unsweetend almond milk (optional)
Simple fry the onion in a little oil till translucent. Add the rest of ingredients and boil until all is cooked through. Then take out bay leaf and blend with a hand blender or in batches in the blender. To make it a little thinner and creamy-er I added a bit of almond milk.
Cinnamon Apple Scones
adapted from King Arthur
2 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
1/3 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
6 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
6 tablespoons water
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon butter
cinnamon and brown sugar mix.
Add all the dry ingredients and mix. Cut up butter into pieces and crumble into dry ingredients. In a separate dish mix all wet ingredients. Add dry and wet ingredients together and knead until they hold together. Split into to and make 5 inch diameter round disks. Drizzle butter on top of the disks. Add Mix cinnamon and brown sugar together and sprinkle on top. Cut into 6 pieces (like a pizza). Spread them out so there is at least 1/2 inches between pieces. Bake at 425 degree F for 20 minutes.
*These turned out yummy. The dough was really crumbly but don't worry, it will turn out. There is no measure for cinnamon and brown sugar mix because I had made it for another recipe and I just eyeballed the amount. Think cinnamon roll :)
An article by Washington Post gave a brief history of the common phrase, "An Apple a day keeps the doctor away". Originally the saying was, "Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread." :) Apples are great food source as they are low in calories, high in fiber, and eating an apple a day can lower bad cholesterol and may help prevent strokes.
