APPLES in appealing ways
Almost everyone enjoys apples. And there are so many ways to use apples that a family need never tire of them.
This leaflet is designed to supplement the better-known apple recipes given in many cook books. You will find here some new apple adventures and some variations on favorite ways of using the fruit. Recipes calling for applesauce and apple juice are included.
All recipes have been developed or adjusted by research methods, to arrive at up-to-date, dependable directions.
Nutritionally speaking
Many families eat apples liberally, for apples regularly take top or second rank among the country’s most widely used fruits.
Eaten in generous quantities, especially raw, apples can provide some vitamin C. The food value, however, varies considerably, depending on such factors as variety, storage conditions—temperature and length of keeping—and finally the way the fruit is kept and served at home.
