I loved going apple picking every October when we lived in New York. We would always get hot apple cider and apple cider donuts too, then bring home more apples than we could eat. We usually made apple chips out of our excess apples. Recently I made apple sauce for the first time and was surprised at just how easy it was. I made a big batch and froze them in portions, and they defrosted in the refrigerator beautifully.
With October and apple season upon us, here are some quick and easy apple recipes using shortcuts like sandwich bread slices, puff pastry, crescent rolls and box cake mix!

We’ve lived in the South for 7 years and I miss apple season so much! Apple cider donuts here are prefab and nothing like up north. But I did make one of my kids favorites last night – baked apples made in the microwave. Just a bag of Granny Smith apples peeled and sliced (maybe 3 lb?), 2T melted butter, 2-3T brown sugar and 1/2T cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.
