Collection of Apple Recipes
I have a lot of apples right now, so I've been hunting for some interesting recipes to use them in. Here's a collection that has a lot of good ones. There's some nice salads, a couple of deserts and even some main dishes: https://www.forksoverknives.com/reci...n-plant-based/

Oh, that apple walnut bread sounds good! When it cools off later this week, I think I will try that.
We live in an area where a lot of apples are not only grown, but new varieties are developed at an ag research center nearby. My favorites are still the old standbys, though - especially Cortlands.
We really like chopped apples in salad when tomatoes are not in season. Ones that are firm, red and tart look pretty and taste great.
When it's cold, I make a side of apples, butternut or yams, and onions. Just a drizzle of olive oil, then bake until tender, stirring occasionally. If I am baking a chicken or chops, I put it in the oven all at once.

Jenny Doan (Missouri Star Quilt Co) has this recipe in one of her very first Block magazines (Block Vol. 1, Issue 2). I have not tried it yet but have heard that it is very, very good.
Apple Nut Cake
1 1/2 cups salad oil
2 cups sugar
2 eggs, beaten
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
3 cups apples - peeled & diced
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup raisins
Mix oil, sugar & eggs. Sift dry ingredients & stir into oil mixture (will be dry).
Pour into greased 13 1/2" x 18 1/2" cake pan. Bake at 375 deg. for 40 min.
or until cake pulls loose around edges.
Serve warm or cold. A good recipe to cut into bars & freeze for lunches.
This recipe did not call for any vanilla but I would add a teaspoon to it. I put vanilla in all my "dessert" recipes like this.
From the pictures in the magazine it looks like a very thin cake. When I make it I will probably make it in an 11" x 13" pan. I think a cream cheese icing would be delicious on top of it or a powdered sugar/milk/vanilla drizzle would be good also.

My sister has a couple apple trees. Last year she had so many apples, she decided to dehydrate them as they're great for munching on. This morning I made up some granola to go with my home-made yogurt and added some of the dried apples along with some craisins. Now I'm set to start eating my greek yogurt with the granola.
