Apples make a great addition to most meals, and they pair so well with most spices. Make the most out of your apples with the following recipes.

One simple dessert you can make with apples is apple pie. The true beauty of the pie lies in the interaction between the crust and the filling. Ingredients for Eight Servings:

Fillings ½ cup brown sugar
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
