AE By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent The harvest season is with us and in gardens or appear in the mar- apples, from the tart, green Granny Smith apples, to golden and red Delicious, crisp McIntosh and the tart Miltons, and soon, the favorite firm Cortlands, great for eating, baking and salads. Just as there is a wide variety of apples, so are there as many, if not more, kinds of recipes for this great American fruit. Everyone knows that the two-crust deep dish Apple Pie is the American favorite along with the Hot Dog and Hamburg, but in this week’s Dallas Post Cook- book, we bring you some unusual but easy-to-prepare, delicious and economical ways to use that ever- so-popular Great American fruit. Apple Salad with honey dressing takes only 15 minutes to prepare and the blend of apples, walnuts and honey is a different but satisfying dish. Apple Cauliflower is especially appropriate for this time of year with the abundance of both apples and cauliflower. The flavors of the two blend together in a crunchy, delicious salad, an ideal accompani- ment for pork, ham or poultry. Apple Cheese Custard takes only 15 minutes to prepare and about an hour to bake. Made with Granny Smith, or later, with Cortland apples, it is a tempting pudding. For a variation of the all-time favorite apple pie, we suggest trying the Crumb Apple-Walnut Pie, easy to make but flavorful and appealing to the tastebuds. - Washington Apple Cake is quite different from other apple cakes but makes an excellent dessert for serv- ing to a group or taking to a church supper. It takes less than half an hour to prepare and about one hour to bake. For those who enjoy Wal- Apple varieties Dallas Post/Charlot M. Denmon dorf Salad, the Molded Apple Salad is s delicious substitute. Prepare it in 15 minutes and refrigerate for two hours and you have a tasty, molded salad with a fresh apple cider taste.
