Mealtime Magic: Fall Apple Recipes

We know it’s easy to get caught up in the thrill of fall and go a little nuts when apple picking, but the bushels of apples you brought home can be used in delightful, fall snacks.

Excalibur Dehydrators and Omega Juicers come in handy this time of year after apple picking excursions.  Sometimes families can come home with 20+ pounds of apples and limited recipes to use them.  With the right tools, it’s easy to make delicious snacks and fresh apple juice, putting all those apples to use.
