Apple season is in full swing and I’ve been happily cooking with them all week! My apple obsession started as a kid. I have fond memories of apple picking with just my family and also with extended family. We’d make a day of going out to an orchard and picking a big bag of apples, drinking apple cider, and buying mums and pumpkins. Now, I do the same thing with my family, often times with my sisters and their kids. It’s such a great time.
But, now I have a giant bag of apples that we have to eat! So, I figured I should share some of the yummy recipes I’ve been making. There’s everything from breakfasts to desserts, so go pick some apples and dig in!

Easy Homemade Chicken Apple Sausage
From Paleo Running Momma – Paleo & Whole 30
I always loved apple chicken sausage, but cut down on sausage in general as I became more health conscious and cut out nitrites and nitrates. These sausage patties are great and the whole family loves them, not just for breakfast!

These are great for breakfast or a quick snack. Right out of the oven with real butter smeared all over them – I’m drooling remembering. Make sure you get one before those darn kids eat them all!

From Food & Whine – Can be made Paleo with homemade paleo dijon, coconut aminos & sweet potatoes
Slow cooker meals rock! Toss everything in – the night before even – turn it on when necessary and then shazam – dinner is done!
Curried Waldorf Chicken Salad
From Nourishing World – Paleo, Gluten-free
This is an old recipe that I’ve been making for years, except now I make it with Paleo-friendly mayonnaise. I’ve made this for parties and there are never any leftovers.

1/3 c diced organic apples
1/3 c diced organic grapes
1/3 c chopped organic pecans or walnuts
2 heaping Tbs organic apple sweetened dried cranberries
1/4 c Primal Kitchen Mayo (made from avocado oil)
1-3 tbs curry powder
salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
Combine all ingredients and serve. I love this on a bed of baby spinach or organic romaine lettuce.
