Author Notes
Toward the end of the summer, the CSA allots everyone with 10 lbs. of apples. It's difficult to find red apple recipes, because their sugar content makes them better for apple sauce. Also, our apartment doesn't have an air conditioner, thus the oven isn't turned on for baking apple desserts. However, this summer, besides making apple sauce, I loved tossing them in salads. Of course, a few were given away to friends. —SanuraJamila
