I have a peck of “mealy” tasting fuji’s that really are no good for eating raw. Which recipe would work well with a sweet, mealy, non-tart apple?
Thanks! Kay
Hi Kay, Great question! We’d suggest making them into apple butter (and using in the tamales, pop tarts, or cheesecake bars) or applesauce. The apple crisp may also work!

After picking 8 large bins of apples off my tree, everyone kept asking what I was going to do with all those apples!
These recipes are timely and I can’t wait to try them. Thank you for focusing on what is in season and helping provide recipes for all my apples!
Wow, how fun!! Thank you for your sweet words, Karla. Enjoy! xo
