Apple Sauce

Applesauce can last sealed in the fridge for about 7-10 days. You can also store it in the freezer for a few months. Just make sure to leave some room between the lid and applesauce so it has room to expand when frozen.

Apple Bundt Cake

This Apple Bundt Cake has been a family favorite for years, one that my great-grandmother used to make! I would ask her, “How do you make a bundt cake, Grandma?” And she would lean in with a gleam in her eye and whisper.

Apple Fryer Applie Pie Bombs

Apple Pie Bombs are a fun and tasty way to get all the flavors of an apple pie without all the hassle of baking a homemade pie. Store-bought biscuit dough is used to hold in the apple pie filling and then air fried. For added flavor, the fried apple pie bombs are dipped in butter and rolled into an apple pie spice and sugar coating.
