Comfort Bowl
Savory apple cheddar soup
For the savory lovers, apple cheddar soup is an interesting mix of flavors.
Start by sauteing onions in butter until soft. Add diced apples and vegetable broth, and simmer until the apples are tender.
Blend the mixture until smooth, before stirring in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
This creamy soup tastes best hot with crusty bread.
Warm beverage
Spiced apple cider drink
A spiced apple cider drink can be super refreshing and warming on cool evenings.
Start by heating up apple cider in a pot along with cinnamon sticks, cloves, and orange slices for added flavor depth.
Let it simmer gently to allow the spices to infuse fully into the cider before serving it hot in mugs garnished with additional cinnamon sticks or orange slices.
Nutty indulgence
Baked apples stuffed with nuts
Baked apples stuffed with nuts make for an easy yet satisfying treat, perfect for autumn nights.
Core whole apples (while leaving bottoms intact) to make room for stuffing with chopped nuts mixed with honey/maple syrup and spices like cinnamon/nutmeg (if desired).
Bake at moderate temperature until soft enough but still holds shape well.
Serve warm with yogurt/ice cream, as desired.
