From Orchard to Table: 5 Recipes to Savor Apple Season 🍏


Hello, friends!

Apple season is here in full swing — the markets are overflowing with Honeycrisps, Galas, and Pink Ladies, and my kitchen smells like maple, cider, and all the best cozy fall things. 🍁

This is hands-down my favorite time of year to cook. Apples add that perfect crisp sweetness to everything — from fresh salads to warm, saucy mains — and they just taste like fall.

Here are a few Maplevine Kitchen recipes to help you savor apple season, whether you’re planning for a cozy dinner or just craving something seasonal and simple.

This Week’s Favorites:

Ultimate Fall Honeycrisp Apple Salad - Crisp apples, smoky bacon, maple-candied pecans, and tangy pickled shallots all tossed with blue cheese and tender greens. Try this easy, show-stopping salad recipe for your next festive gathering.

Apple Cider Vinaigrette - Sweet-tart, silky, and perfectly balanced — this simple homemade dressing brings any salad to life. It’s my go-to for all things fall.

Apple Arugula Salad with Cheddar and Pecans - Peppery arugula meets sharp aged cheddar, crisp apples, and toasted pecans in this fresh, vibrant salad that pairs beautifully with roasted meats.

Creamy Cider Chicken with Apples, Cranberries, and Bacon - Juicy chicken simmered in a creamy apple cider sauce with tart cranberries and crispy bacon — comfort food at its finest.

Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Onions - A one-pot wonder that’s as cozy as it gets — tender pork, caramelized onions, and sweet apples cooked together until melt-in-your-mouth perfect.

Whether you’re picking apples at a local orchard or grabbing a few from your favorite market, these recipes are the perfect way to bring that crisp fall flavor to your table.

Happy cooking,

P.S. If you make the Honeycrisp salad (or any of the other recipes), I’d love it if you’d pop over and leave a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating and a quick comment on the post. It seriously helps more readers find the recipe — and it totally makes my day. 😊
