Ok, it’s been a crazy fall with little time for posting. But life is slowing down again, and I have lots of yummy fall recipes saved up that I’m ready to post — especially apple recipes!!!
So I thought it would be fun to kick off a week of apple recipes with a giveaway of a different “Apple” kind. :) Many of you know that I’m a musician for a living, and spend my days listening to and playing endless music. So to bring some new tunes into your life, Gimme Some Oven is giving away a brand new candy-apple-green 2G iPod shuffle this week!
I still can’t get over how cute and tiny these have become. Perfect for shuffling some fun tunes while you’re spending time in the kitchen during the holiday season — or working out afterwards to stay fit during the chilly winter months. :)
So read below for quick entry requirements, and check back at Gimme Some Oven this week for an “apple recipe a day” and more opportunities to enter! Best of luck, and look forward to sharing a week of great recipes with you!

Well, I love them straight up – but I also really enjoy baked apples with some cinnamon and brown sugar! Mmm.
I also follow your RSS feed – actually I did already, so I dont’t know whether or not this qualifies for an extra entry :)
I love really sour apple sauce, not sweetened, with the tartest apples you can buy.
My mother also makes fantastic apple gallettes.
I love apple crisp, and have been making it since I was a kid. Though the recipe I use now, is the best ever. :)
Apple pie!
I love my apples in apple pie or apple pancake. Thanks for the contest.

fresh! – with peanut butter!!!
(or baked in pie, added to cake or bread, sauteed with cinnamon to go with waffles, in my mom’s homemade applesauce….YUM I love apples!)
favorite way to enjoy an apple is with sliced and eaten with extra sharp cheddar cheese.
I’ve come to love apples as I’ve grown older & often bring one for lunch @ work. I enjoy them plain, but I *love* them in a warm apple crisp. Or, even better, in cheddar apple pear pie!! MMMM!
favorite? Apples with peanut butter dipped in a little granola for breakfast is pretty yummy.
Good old fashioned apple pie, with ice cream of course =)
now I’m a fan on facebook too =)
Apples are best in candied form….and I’m not talking candied-apples, rather Jolly Rancher, Sweettarts, Runts, etc and even then, I’m not happy that they replaced lime. If someone could come up with an artificial flavoring for cinnamon apple though, I’d probably change my tune.
I love apple crisp! I just love that the apples aren’t drowned in sugar for most apple crisp recipes, they keep their naturally delicious taste. And of course, I love the yummy crumbles on the top! mmmmmmm
Mmmm…. carmel apple rolls, or apple dumplings. I really want to try making an apple pie sometime soon, but I am intimidated by the crust.
A fresh home-baked french apple pie with crumb topping is my all-time favorite apple dish. Cute shuffle!
I love apples in my Apple Bundt cake with carmel glaze. My fav!
My fave is either apple butter or just a plain honeycrisp, eaten out of hand! :)
Baked apples…butter, brown sugar, cinnamon…YUM!
My favorite way to enjoy apples is probably fresh, because I have one every day at lunch!
I am now a fan on Facebook. I don’t know if it counts, but I already subscribe to you via RSS.
A fresh granny smith with peanut butter is my go-to snack.
Honeycrisp apples with caramel.
Fried apples – with caramel… yummo! But – I love apples any way… I love to peel them and then cut slices and eat them that way! Delicious!
Nothing beats sliced apples with a mixture of peanut butter and honey to dip in.
Probably pies has to be the top….though caramel dipped are right up there on the list of favories.
my new favorite apple recipe are these caramel apple bars: https://www.thesweetslife.com/2010/10/caramel-apple-nut-bars.html
my mom made them after i did and her friend declared them the best dessert she’s EVER had! win! :)
I love fresh pressed cider. Especially when it’s at the pumpkin patch!
Hey Ali- Love this idea! I had to share it on Twitter! :) Oh, and for apple recipes…ever since I made the turnovers I have had a mild addiction. Or apple pie…I can’t decide!
i love grabbing a cold, crisp Pink Lady apple out of the fridge…but i also love taking granny smith and dunking her in caramel dip….i also love a good nut covered carmel apple on a stick! Yummers…i am off to the kitchen…
I love a sliced apple dipped in a mixure of PB and mayonaise my mom introduced to me as a child
Ooh, I LOVE the apple turnovers that my Mom makes. I have tried to make them a million times, but they just never turn out as good as hers ha. I particularly enjoy them with vanilla ice cream. :)
My favourite way to enjoy apples would be fresh, sliced up! You just can’t beat the crisp juiciness and sweetness! However, I also love apple crisp and apple pie on cold days :)
My favourite is apples with pork chops – you first fry thick apple slices in a pan with butter, then add the pork plus salt and black pepper. The two of them go so very well together, not to mention the texture the apple takes! (I’m in the mood for it and it’s not even 8 AM.. -__-;; )
Apple Fritters all the way!!!
My favorite is a fresh pink lady apple.
I love golden delicious apples topped with a little bit of honey :) yum!
Now following you on Twitter!
Liked you on Facebook!
I love eating them as they are, especially honey crisp apples!
since honeycrisp are in season right now, nothing but fresh with nothing on them!
I love pure, unadulterated Gala apples. The perfect amount of crunch and sweetness :)
I have never met an apple dessert that I did not like but I love apple pie with ice cream. Classic and so good!

Green apple slices with a bit of Gorgonzola crumbled on top. Mmmmmmmmmmmm! Add some walnuts in the mix & we’ve reached perfection!
