The Apple Recipes That You've Been Waiting For All Year

One of our favorite things about fall is the fact that we can start cooking hearty dishes again. Between the mac and cheese, bowls and bowls of soup, and apples -- in all their varieties -- it's easy to say goodbye to the long days of summer (and the berries they bring).

We love apples this time of year, and not just for the pies and cakes we can make with them -- though those don't hurt. Apples are great in savory dishes too -- snuck into a grilled cheese, for example.

We've found 26 apple recipes to make sure you take advantage of fall's greatest gift. And they'll also help make sure you're spending time in the kitchen, because there's no better place to be in the fall than cozied up next to a warm oven with the smell of apple and cinnamon wafting through the air.
