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,
