Psst, apple lovers—over here! We've got some contest news you'll want to hear.
When we first kicked off our latest contest, Your Best Recipe With Apples, we asked you for "sweet, savory, tangy, unpredictable, and everything in between." And boy, did you deliver. Of the many, many submissions we received, more than half were for sweets, but an impressive 40% of the bushel were for savory dishes.
Then, we introduced you to our top two, and it became a battle of the courses: Dinner versus dessert. A roast-y, cheesy, fennel-filled apple salad that screams "fall vibes," versus a cozy, streusel-y apple cake.
Well, there can only be one true apple of our eye. You voted and the results are in. Give it up for...
A huge congratulations to What We Eat Gals for creating a fall salad with so much textural bliss—toasted hazelnuts! roasted apple and fennel! goat cheese!—that we can't help but eat half before it makes it to the table.
A huge thank you to everyone who submitted to this contest and gave us a million reasons to go apple picking. Stay tuned for a Q&A with What We Eat Gals, where we’ll ask them all about this winning recipe.
Then, we'll be back in a flash to announce our next contest theme. Hint, hint: You'll want to break out those party platters to serve up your recipes. Oh no, have I said too much already?
Share your congrats for What We Eat Gals in the comments!
