Apple

Used in 7 recipes on RecipeWiki.

The apple on this page covers every form RecipeWiki's recipes ask for, from firm eating apples such as Braeburn or Cox to sharper, tart varieties. Apples run from honeyed and crisp to sharp and perfumed, and the variety decides how they behave in heat: firm ones hold their shape, softer ones collapse into purée. Double-Crust Apple Pie and Sharlotka, the Russian apple sponge, both want slices that stay distinct after baking, while Waldorf Salad uses apple raw for crunch and sweetness. Cut apple browns within minutes, so toss it in a little lemon juice if it has to wait. Kept in the fridge, apples stay crisp for weeks.
