You think apple, you think pie. Not anymore!
Turning down an apple pie never feels easy. Apple pies are iconic, delicious, and the ultimate comfort food when it comes to delectable desserts. However, although apples are best used in a pie, it is not the only way you can use apples in a dessert. There exist many apple desserts that are as delicious as the apple pie, and some even more, if we may say so. If you are in the mood to mix it up and up the ante when it comes to apple desserts, you may want to look a little beyond the humble apple pie. Here are a few apple desserts that are as good as the apple pie but different.
The old-fashioned recipe of baking apples to perfection is proof that you can take something as simple as an apple, not go into too many complications, and still cook up a beautiful dessert. The classic dessert of baked apples lets the apples shine in their true form, but better. All you have to do is bake the apples until they are so soft that they melt into your mouth while still maintaining some texture to their flavor. Top the baked apples with some chocolate and your choice of sprinkles to create a simple but perfect apple dessert.
If you want something yummy and yet a little fancy that you can brag to your friends about, go for the caramel apple toffee. Moreover, this would be your perfect go-to dessert for the fall season, for the comfort and flavor that oozes out of these delicious tiny things. Coat your apples with as much caramel and chocolate as you would like and freeze them till they form the consistency you would prefer. A little sprinkle of crushed hazelnuts or walnuts would make your caramel apple toffee taste even better. If you want something more chocolaty, create a chocolate caramel dip for the perfect explosion of flavors in your mouth.
Not everyone has a crazy sweet tooth, and for them, spiced apple walnut bread is the perfect solution. It is easy to make, and you can follow your regular banana bread recipe. Simply replace the bananas with some spiced sautéed apples, and your taste buds will be up for a ride!
