The big crop of apples now coming to market not only is good news for apple munchers but is a source of delight to the family cook. No fruit appears in so many guises as the apple, or gives the housewife so many chances to prove her versatility in the kitchen. The apple may be baked, stewed, steamed, cooked up into apple sauce, used in salads, pan-fried and served as a meat course accompaniment and scalloped with sweet potatoes for a happy vegetable combination. It may be used in stuffing for duck or goose. It may be dried and canned and made into cider. It goes into apple butter, jam and jelly, and chutney, and into the best desserts ever. Nearly every one has a favorite apple dessert - deep dish apple pie, apple dumplings, apple fritters, apple snow, apple brown betty, and apple sherbet, just to name a handful of possibilities. Now is the time to serve them often and to try out as many new apple dishes as you can. Three vitamins, C, B, and G, are present in small amounts in apples. These contributions, especially of vitamin C, take on new importance when the apple is a frequent item in the diet. The apples which are best for eating fresh do not as a rule make the most satisfactory fruit for baking or cooking. For sauce and pie, you want apples that cook soft, such as Spy, Baldwin and Greenings. The Jonathan is a good type of apple for baking as it holds its shape even when baked until soft. There are, however, some apples that are equally good as a dessert apple, that is for eating out of hand, and for cooking. These include the Stayman, Macintosh, Golden, Northern Spy, Spitzenburg, Grimes and Baldwin.
