For many of us, there is one thing that reigns ultra-important during the holidays: FOOD! There is so much more than just the dinner spread to eat throughout the day. We adore apples implemented in recipes this time of year, especially Autumn Glory apples! While there's a special place in our hearts for EVERY apple variety we grow, Autumn Glory is the perfect apple for the holidays! Autumn Glory's natural caramel and cinnamon flavor notes give many dishes the ideal Christmas spice flavor. Below are what we feel are the must-have recipes this season!

Apple Breakfast Casserole
On Christmas day, many of us forget to plan for breakfast. Leading to starvation complaints WAY before dinner is out of the oven. This apple breakfast casserole is simple, feeds a crowd, and won’t be too heavy to start the holly jolly day. It’s topped with Autumn Glory and can be made vegan.

Vegan Granny Smith Flat Bread
This flatbread will stand out as the lone non-Autumn Glory recipe in this roundup! The vibrant green of Granny Smith apples brings holiday cheer, and their tart flavor complements the herby cheese, sweet and spicy mustard sauce, and chickpea crust.

An ideal Side
Autumn Glory Apple Salad
There are so many ways to enjoy Autumn Glory as a salad topping. We have enjoyed countless delicious variations of Autumn Glory salads, and this one is equally (if not more) yummy! This one is special because it is also paired with a vinaigrette made using Autumn Glory apple juice and the fresh slice topping.
