autumn apple recipes for you. One savory and one sweet. Let's start with my chicken
apple stir fry. For your recipe base you will need chicken and apples obviously
onion, carrots, garlic, water chestnuts, coconut oil, and salt and pep.
For the sauce you will need broth, soy sauce, sesame oil and ground ginger.
Whisk up your sauce ingredients and set aside
In a large saucepan or wok start by adding your coconut oil followed by your
onions, carrots, and garlic. Saute over medium high heat until the onions become
translucent about three to five minutes and then you can add in your cubed
chicken breasts. I like to cut my chicken breasts a little bit smaller so
that it took a little bit faster and is easier to eat. But you could also do strips
or larger cubes, and for a Vegan option for this recipe you could sub tofu or
omit completely. Once your chicken is almost completely cooked through about 5 to 7
minutes you can add in those chopped apples. We add these later so that they
don't get too soggy in the cooking process. You can really use any kind of
apples in this recipe but I do not recommend Mcintosh for Red Delicious
because they're a little bit too soft. Now it's time to add in your sauce
mixture. Turn the heat up and let it come to a boil and then you can turn the heat
down and let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Lastly we can add in our water chestnuts and these don't need much time we want them to stay
nice and crisp and crunchy. Allow to saute for another minute or two before
serving and devouring. Yum! So now let's move on to dessert. My crust-less apple pie.
So the least healthy part of an apple pie is the crust right so why not get
rid of it. Focus on the star of the dish the apples. For
this recipe you will need apples. Now a lot of people prefer Granny Smith for
baking but my mom is actually allergic to Granny Smith apples so I pretty much
just never baked with them just to be safe.
Who knows when she's coming by. So I am using Honeycrisp apples but you can
use whatever you prefer. I do wanna know though what is your favorite apple for baking
or for eating. Comment below and let me know you'll also need cinnamon, cloves, and apple pie spice
which is just cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice; and coconut oil, coconut sugar, and salt.
Add your apples to a large mixing bowl. I used the mandolin to get nice thin slices of
apples because I love the texture of the thin slices when they're baked but you
could of course just chop them up roughly and throw them in a bowl. Then you can add in the rest
of your ingredients and mix to coat don't be afraid to get your hands dirty. I
chose to use these cute mini ramekins for personal sized treats but you could of course use a full
pie dish if you prefer. Since it is such a simple dish I decided to kick it up
a notch by making an apple rose and I simply layered the slices into the ramekin
working my way from the outside in. Pack them in there as tightly as you can. And if you're thinking,
'Whoa Alyssia this is getting a little bit to DIY from me' that's ok just chop them up, mix them up,
throw them in a pan, and bake them. It's still gonna taste delicious but thumbs up if you do think
these are adorable. I just think food is more fun to eat when it's pretty. Am I
right? Once you have filled your ramekins, you can place them on a baking pan sprinkle them with a
little bit of extra coconut sugar and cinnamon and you can bake them in an oven
preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 40 minutes until tender. Remove and
you'll have the perfect personal crust-less apple pie or cinnamon baked apples. So cute.
I think these are perfect for holiday dinners when you know you're gonna be
having more than one dessert because you can eat this little baby guilt-free
and move on to the next. If you enjoy these recipes please give this video a
thumbs up, it really just make my day when you do that ok.
