Feel-Good Food for Fall

Crisp mornings, cozy sweaters and a craving for comfort foods are all sure signs that autumn is in the air.

No fall menu is complete without hearty, homestyle dishes that evoke feelings of well-being and warmth, and there’s no better way to capture the flavors of fall than with the season’s signature ingredient – apples.

Serving up fall’s best feel-good foods doesn’t have to be hard.

One clever solution: apple butter. Made from apples slow-simmered in kettles of sugar, apple cider and spices, apple butter is more than just a spread.

It’s also a versatile ingredient that can enhance your favorite sweet and savory recipes.

I prefer to use Musselman’s Apple Butter, which lends a unique taste to main dishes and desserts alike.
