I would love to hear how these recipes turned out for you! I’m also curious, are you the type that follows recipes exactly or do you fudge a bit? Personally, I like using recipes as a general guideline – depending on what I’m making I like to eyeball my measurements and throw my own twist on traditional recipes.

If you’re looking for still more apple recipes try using allrecipes.com or tasteofhome.com (All Recipes is my favorite).
