APPJCSS in appealing ways 



Almost everyone enjoys apples. And there 

 are so many ways to use apples that a family 

 need never tire of them. 



This leaflet is designed to supplement the 

 better-known apple recipes given in many cook 

 books. You will find here some new apple 

 adventures and some variations on favorite 

 ways of using the fruit. Recipes calling for 

 applesauce and apple juice are included. 



All recipes have been developed or adjusted 

 by research methods, to arrive at up-to-date, 

 dependable directions. 



Nutritionally speaking 



Many families eat apples liberally, for apples 

 regularly take top or second rank among the 

 country's most widely used fruits. 



Eaten in generous quantities, especially raw, 

 apples can provide some vitamin C. The food 

 value, however, varies considerably, depending 

 on such factors as variety, storage conditions — 

 temperature and length of keeping — and finally 

 the way the fruit is kept and served at home. 



A small or medium-size apple makes a very 

 pleasant low-calorie dessert in many homes. 



Choose your apples 



To get the most in apple enjoyment, look for 

 a variety that suits family taste and the uses 

 you have in mind. 



Many varieties are good for all purposes — 

 general cooking, baking whole, eating raw. 

 Tart, firm apples are generally best liked for 

 cooking; sweeter apples, for eating raw. (See 

 table on pages 4 and 5 for descriptions of 12 

 well-known varieties.)
