*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***
I've still got some golden delicious apples
from the picking trip a little bit ago and on
the crisp weather where casseroles hit the spot
I thought of this favorite. This is such a tasty
combo you might not have come across on your own.
A layered SWEET POTATO & APPLE BAKE that is a
casserole-like dish that I like with the Golden
Delicious apples. The fresher the better I always
say. May seem like a strange combo but for some
reason it just works together.
Enjoy!

WHY GOLDEN DELICIOUS APPLES ARE DELICIOUS?
These are excellent for fresh eating, in a salad,
in pies or for baking. Late season apple with a
crisp, rich flavor - the taste is sweet, fragrant
and juicy. They also store one to two months in the
refrigerator. It is a superb eating apple. It is
very good for baking, holding its shape, and also
excellent for use in salads.
