This season we will share with you an exclusive collection of recipes! Do you know how to make Thanksgiving apple desserts? Well, here are a few more to add to your list! But make sure you go through the tips first so that nothing goes wrong in the process! Happy holidays!

How do you pick the best apples for making your dessert?

Now before you start with your desserts, there is something that you need to make sure of! Use fresh apples! That's very simple to say but how to determine whether these apples on the counter are good for the flavor and texture of your desserts are not.

First of all, the texture of the apples needs to be tight, firm, and crisp! This will give a crunchy texture to your tarts as well! Some of the common varieties of apples for making desserts include Braeburn, Cortland, Honey Gold, Jonathan, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Haralson, Newtown Pippin, and so on.

What kind of apples are needed for making cakes and pies

When you are working on a cake or pie, the rules are reversed than when you are baking tarts, etc! The Apple pies need apples that are slightly tender and will easily acquire a pulpy texture! Hence go for the soft and small ones instead.

However, being too mushy is not good here either. Apples like Red Delicious, McIntosh, and Golden Delicious apples tend to break down faster while you are baking cakes and pies to release their pulp which is what you are basically aiming for.

What is a full-proof method of choosing your apples?

If this still seems confusing then we can certainly clear your doubts! Whether to choose a firm or tender apple can make you feel confused as you do not wish to compromise the quality of your dessert! So read on to find out more. Seasonal apples are best no matter whether it is a pie or a tart!

The non-seasonal apples have been stored in cold storage for too long and this can impact the taste, texture, and crispiness. You should notice that there are no blemishes on the skin, no holes or soft spots either.

How many apples are generally needed

Now that you are up to making pies and tarts, cakes, and other desserts with apples, you must be wondering how many apples you should stock in the kitchen! Here is a rough estimation.

Four to six cups of Apple slices are what you need! This is what you need for making apples crisp. In most recipes, you will be provided with the estimation and you can purchase the ingredients accordingly.

What is the right way of storing apples?

Now if you have extra apples in the refrigerator and wish to learn the right methods of storing them so your money does not go to waste, here is what you need to do. You have made the right decision by placing the apples in the refrigerator! This way, they tend to remain fresh for as long as two weeks. Place them inside a perforated packet or a container that allows some airflow.

Well, that was more or less all about apples! Now let us quickly go through the list of apple desserts that we have for you to indulge in during the holidays.
