Inspiring Apple Recipes
The chefs at our Farmhouse Restaurant have certainly been inspired by the apples in our apple orchard. With several varieties to choose from, they know to use the fruits that are great for cooking and baking. When Chef Joel bit into our sweet, yet sour Zestar apple, he knew that he had to create something unique to boost the delicious, bold flavor.
They have a really nice sweetness with a little bit of sour to them. It’s really refreshing.
Chef Joel takes you through the process of creating this gorgeous dish, making each step easy to follow. You can put your own twist on this recipe by utilizing different apple varieties such as Jonagold or Pixie Crunch or by adding different flavors like lemon for a more tart flavor or cinnamon to give it more of a fun fall twist.
