The sweet, juicy crunch of a bright, fresh apple is a sure sign of fall. Apples are a good source of dietary fiber (both soluble and insoluble), vitamin C and vitamin K, too, so it’s entirely possible that eating an apple a day could help keep the doctor away. Enjoy them in these delicious, heart-healthy recipes.Download a FREE Apple Recipe Cookbook!Watch Video

Kale, Carrot & Apple Salad

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Emerald-green lacinato kale is the star of this healthy kale salad, tossed with an easy maple, mustard and apple cider vinaigrette and studded with crisp apples. Toss or massage the kale with the dressing about 30 minutes before you're ready to serve. The sturdy kale leaves won't wilt from the dressing and will taste even better after they've been marinated in it.

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This easy, stuffed pork loin recipe starts with a soak in brine to ensure that it stays juicy and moist. The stuffing combines sweet potatoes, apples and gently spicy poblanos with Mexican herbs and spices.

Apple, Carrot & Cabbage Chopped Salad

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Orange blossom water adds an exotic citrus essence to the dressing in this spiced carrot and cabbage salad recipe. If you prefer, you can substitute orange juice, which will give you a similar flavor without the delicate perfumed notes. Look for orange blossom water in natural-foods stores and Middle Eastern grocers.

Apple Cupcakes with Cinnamon-Marshmallow Frosting

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Shredded apple replaces some of the oil and keeps the cake moist in these cinnamon-spiked cupcakes. There is a generous amount of fluffy marshmallow frosting to mound or pipe on top for a festive look. Be sure to frost them right after you make the frosting--it stiffens as it stands and becomes more difficult to spread.

Apple-&-Leek-Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Stuff pork tenderloin with apple and leek to take it from ordinary to elegant. Our easy method of tying the roast together keeps the filling inside while you brown and roast it. We use applejack, brandy made from apple cider, for depth of flavor in the pan sauce, but you can use 1/2 cup cider if you prefer.

Hard Cider-Braised Lamb Shanks

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Serve these succulent braised lamb shanks dressed in a savory apple-shallot sauce for a special fall supper. The shank, a tougher cut of meat from the top of the leg, becomes fall-off-the-bone tender after simmering in hard cider. Don't skimp on the shallots: peeling 12 of them takes some time, but they are the base for the rich sauce. Serve over mashed rutabaga or potatoes.
