With apple picking season just around the corner, Emily Wu-Rorrer of Cakes By Happy Eatery went on Fox 5’s Lion Lunch Hour to talk all things apples and the many food opportunities that go with this favored fruit.
“We love to go sweet and savory when it comes to apples,” says Wu-Rorrer. “Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, and Fuji all offer their own tartness and individual sweetness and are the best bets to bake with.” The key — especially if you’re not going to eat or use them right of the vine the first day — is to avoid storing them near heat (unless you’re making applesauce!) and to submerge and/or soak them in cold water, salted water, lemon water or honey-sweetened water.
When it comes to the savory, the bakery loves sandwiches: chicken salad with fresh apples, apple and brie and apple grilled cheese. Desserts covered on Fox included Apple Crumb Cheesecake Tarts and then Apple Bread, Cookies, Cakes Pops, and Galette, among others. For more information, click here.
