RECIPES: Apple Almond Pancakes, Apple Waldorf Salad, Glazed Apples and Vegetables, Apple Cobbler<\/strong><\/div>\n

By Rae Udy<\/p>\n

October is the official start of the fresh apple season. Apples are a food energy bargain with about fifty to sixty calories each and they contain no cholesterol or fat. Loaded with potassium and vitamin C, its easy to understand why an apple a day helps keep the doctor away.<\/strong>
\nRed and Golden Delicious apples are best for eating fresh rather than baking. These varieties taste great in Apple Almond Pancakes and Apple Waldorf Salad.
\nGranny Smith, McIntosh and other tart apples hold their shape while baking and are perfect for side dish Glazed Apples and Vegetables. Apple Cobbler is a warm and satisfying dessert fit for family and friends.<\/strong>
\nApples are so versatile you can serve them as pancakes for breakfast, in a salad for lunch, as a side dish with dinner and there is always apple desserts.<\/p>\n
