And the versatile apple can lend flavor to your main course, salad, bread, or dessert. An apple, eaten raw, makes a pleasant, low-calorie snack or dessert. A medium-size apple contains only 70 calories. Like other fruits, apples contain some vitamins and minerals. Bottled or canned apple juice may be fortified with vitamin C. In this publication, you’ll find useful facts about apples, recipes for many of your favorite apple dishes, and some new or unusual ways of preparing and serving apples. CHOOSING APPLES The large assortment of apples at retail markets provides a variety for every need. It’s a good idea to learn to recognize some of the most popular varieties. (See table, p. 4.) Varieties There are many good all-purpose apples, plus others especially suited for preparing in certain ways. Apples that “go to pieces” when cooked are usually best for applesauce; those that keep their shape are best for baking whole. Tart apples are good for cooking; sweeter apples, for eating raw. Early summer apples are especially good in applesauce and pies because they’re likely to be juicy, tart, and quick-cooking. Quality of Apples Be sure to buy good-quality apples. Those that are mature when picked have the best flavor and texture. They should be firm and crisp, have a good color, and be free from defects. Most apples are marketed by grade, and many retail packages show variety, grade, and size. U.S. grades for apples are U.S. Extra Fancy, U.S. Fancy, U.S. No. 1, and combinations of these grades. U.S. No. 2 is a less desirable grade. Apples from the far western States are usually marketed under State grades which are similar to Federal grades. Fresh apples and other fruits can develop bruises, blemishes, or other defects because of poor growth or rough handling. They are sometimes available at bargain prices. _Know Your Apples_ VARIETY SEASON DESCRIPTION USE (Size, color, and flavor) Raw General Baking cooking whole Cortland October to Medium to large.

[Illustration: BN-32499, BN-32525 Red Delicious—fragrant, sweet, and an excellent choice for eating out of hand—combines well with other raw foods, as in cabbage-apple salad (p. 9).] [Illustration: BN-32141, BN-32459 Jonathan, one of many popular varieties that can liven up your general cooking, gives this cobbler a flavor boost. For the recipe, see page 14.] [Illustration: BN-32140, BN-32458 Tart, firm Rome Beauty is a classic choice for dishes such as baked apples that call for apples that retain their shape when cooked. The recipe is on page 11.] STORING APPLES Only perfect apples should be stored for later use. Use apples with bruises, skin breaks, or decayed spots as soon as possible. Brief Storage Store slightly underripe apples for 2 weeks or less in a cool place, 60° to 70° F., to ripen. Apples that are ripe enough for eating will keep in your home refrigerator for a week or longer. Place them in the humidifier compartment or in a moisture-resistant container, such as a polyethylene bag. Fruit needs some ventilation, however. The polyethylene bags in which apples are sometimes purchased have small holes. If you prepare your own bags for storing apples, cut a few scattered half-inch holes. Longer Storage Most varieties of apples will keep several months if stored at lower temperatures. Freezing will lower the quality of apples. For directions on long-term storage of apples, see Home and Garden Bulletin 119, “Storing Vegetables and Fruits in Basements, Cellars, Outbuildings, and Pits.” Send your request on a post card to the Office of Information, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250. Please include your ZIP Code. RECIPES Here are some of the many ways to use apples—in the main course of the meal, in salads, in breads, in desserts, and in other ways. Let the table on page 4 guide you in selecting the best apple variety for each recipe. The flavor, texture, and juiciness of the finished product may vary slightly with the kind of apple used. Commercially canned applesauce was used in developing the recipes that call for applesauce. If you use homemade applesauce in these recipes, it should be similar in sweetness and juiciness to commercially canned applesauce. Raw apples may darken when the cut surface is exposed to air, especially if the fruit has touched the iron in a knife blade or chopper. Protect cut apples from darkening by mixing with fruit juice—lemon, orange, grapefruit, or pineapple—before adding other ingredients. Apples in the Main Course Mincemeat-apple filled peaches _8 servings_ 1 cup finely chopped apples ½ cup mincemeat ½ cup miniature marshmallows 8 canned peach halves, drained Peach sirup, as needed Mix apples, mincemeat, and marshmallows. Place peaches in baking dish. Fill centers with apple mixture. Pour a few tablespoons of the peach sirup into bottom of dish. Bake at 375° F. (moderate oven) for about 20 minutes, until peaches are thoroughly heated. To serve, arrange peaches on platter around meat. Apple stuffing _4 cups stuffing_ ¼ cup butter, margarine, or bacon drippings ½ cup chopped onion ½ cup chopped celery 4 cups diced, tart apples ½ teaspoon salt ⅓ cup sugar 4 cups small bread cubes Melt fat in a large frypan. Add onion, celery, and apples. Sprinkle with salt and sugar. Cook, turning occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until apples are lightly browned. Add bread cubes and toss gently to blend ingredients. HOW TO USE _Pork shoulder with apple stuffing._—Sprinkle the inside of a 4-pound, boned fresh pork shoulder with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, as desired. Spread with stuffing. Fold meat over stuffing and skewer. Place on a rack, skin side up, in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 325° F. (slow oven) for about 2½ hours or until meat is tender and the juice is no longer pink. Sweetpotato-apple casserole _6 servings, about ⅔ cup each_ 1 can (18 ounces) sweetpotatoes, drained ¼ cup sweetpotato liquid or orange juice 1 can (20 ounces) apple pie filling 1 teaspoon grated orange rind, if desired 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 cup bread cubes 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted Arrange sweetpotatoes in a 2-quart casserole. Blend remaining ingredients except bread cubes and fat. Pour over sweetpotatoes. Mix bread cubes with fat and sprinkle over apples. Bake at 375° F. (moderate oven) until liquid is bubbly and bread cubes are lightly browned. NOTE: You may omit canned sweetpotatoes, apple pie filling, and ¼ cup liquid. Instead, use 2 cups cooked sweetpotatoes and 2½ cups tapioca apples (p. 14). Panned apple wedges _6 servings, about ½ cup each_ 3 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 tablespoon lemon juice 5 cups pared apple wedges ⅓ cup sugar Melt fat in a large frypan over moderately low heat. Mix lemon juice with apples and pour into pan. Sprinkle with sugar. Brown apples lightly on both sides, turning once. If apples are not tender, cover and cook over low heat a little longer. SERVING SUGGESTIONS Panned apples are especially good served with pork, ham, fried chicken, or sweetpotatoes. Or, fill halves of baked, seasoned acorn squash with panned apples. Apples in Salads Jellied apple-nut salad _6 servings, about ⅔ cup each_ 1 package (3 ounces) lemon-flavored gelatin 1 cup boiling water ¾ cup cold water 1 tablespoon lemon juice ⅛ teaspoon salt ½ cup finely chopped celery 1½ cups chopped apples ¼ cup chopped pecans Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water.

For a salad, use large pieces, drain the fruit, and place on greens. For a fruit cup or dessert, use smaller pieces and add a little fruit juice. To make six ½- to ⅔-cup servings, try one of these combinations: • 1 banana, 1 cup pineapple tidbits, 2 apples. • 1 cup strawberries, 2 oranges, 2 apples, ½ cup marshmallow bits. • 1 cup cranberry sauce, 2 oranges, 2 apples. • 1 banana, 1 apple, 1 cup dark sweet cherries, 2 oranges.
