As fall creeps into winter, we find ourselves buying apple cider,
making caramel apples for Halloween, and filling our home with
the smells of fresh baked apple pies. This is the time of the
year when we first put on our winter coats or crank on the heat
in the house.
It is the perfect time for good, rib-sticking
comfort food. Food that goes down warm and sends warmth
throughout your body. Food that stays with you all day long. I
have a great recipe that is both economical and fits the bill for
warmth and taste. As an added benefit, this recipe will
generously incorporate the apple and allow us to stay with the
theme of the season.
This recipe is also extremely easy to make and uses some
wonderful rustic ingredients. These rustic ingredients blend
together to create some unbelievable aromas. This recipe calls
for two red apples but I always use an extra one for good
measure. Sometimes I will mix a Red Delicious with a Granny Smith
just to contrast flavors. I hope you will enjoy this economical
comfort recipe as much as I do and be sure to look out for our
other recipes in this ongoing series on great food made at home
