Recipes, peeling hacks, how to properly store apples and more!
Whether you prefer apple picking, pie baking, noshing on doughnuts, sipping on cider or crunching into a sweet and tart caramel apple, the realm of possibilities for the season's favorite fruit are endless.With a vast variety of apple breeds comes ample opportunities for cooking techniques and flavor combinations, which is why "Good Morning America" tapped apple expert Amy Traverso to peel back the secrets on the sometimes-sweet, sometimes-tart and always-delicious fruit.
Her book's "cheat sheet" looks at 70 varieties of apples that breaks them down into the following four categories:Varietals include Granny Smith, Pink Pearl, Roxbury Russet -- which is the oldest American apple -- and Northern Spy, to name a few.Varietals include Braeburn, Honeycrisp, Jazz, Jonagold, Opal, Pink Lady, Gravenstein, York and more.
When it comes to pies, her rule of thumb is to peel and slice the apples in order to get the best texture. "Caramel or pie crusts are definitely some of those things, if you haven't learned how to make it yet, what better time than when you're stuck at home," she suggested before offering an array of delicious recipes.These muffins include all the concentrated apple cider flavor of the beloved seasonal doughnuts with the same cinnamon sugar crust and none of the fuss of frying.
Remove the apples from the heat, stir in the cornstarch and spread the apples out on a large baking sheet. Put in the freezer to cool to room temperature, 12 to 15 minutes. Put the pie on a baking sheet and bake on the lowest rack for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350ºF and bake until the pie is golden brown, another 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool on a rack for at least 45 minutes before serving."I like to leave the peel on a caramel apple," she said. "I would use a tart apple.
The caramel will thicken and turn a toffee color as it reaches 238 degrees. When this happens, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and set a rack to the lowest position. Grease the jelly-roll pan with butter.
