Alright, let’s talk about them Gala apples, you know, the ones that are kinda red and yellow and real sweet? Yeah, them ones. I ain’t no fancy cook or nothin’, but I know how to make good food, the kind that sticks to your ribs and makes your belly happy. And Gala apples, well, they’re just perfect for all sorts of stuff, especially them sweet treats.
So, you got a bunch of Gala apples and don’t know what to do with ’em? Don’t you worry none, I got you covered. First thing that comes to mind is Apple Crisp. It’s like a pie, but easier, you know? You just chop up them apples, throw in some sugar and cinnamon, maybe a bit of nutmeg if you’re feelin’ fancy. Then you top it with a crumbly mix of flour, butter, and more sugar. Bake it till it’s bubbly and golden brown, and oh boy, it’s good! My grandkids, they love it when I make this. They gobble it right up, every last bite.
Then there’s Apple Crumble. It’s kinda like the crisp, but maybe a bit simpler. Same deal with the apples and spices, but the topping is a bit different. It’s still crumbly, but maybe a little less buttery, you know? Still tastes mighty fine though. I like to use a mix of apples sometimes, like them Gala ones with some Golden Delicious. Gives it a nice flavor, not too tart, not too sweet, just right.
- Apple Pie: Now, a real apple pie, that’s somethin’ special. It takes a bit more work, makin’ the crust and all, but it’s worth it. Gala apples work great in a pie, they get all soft and juicy. You gotta add some lemon juice though, or it’ll be too sweet, you know? A little bit of tartness balances it out real nice.
- Apple Muffins: These are good for breakfast or a snack. Just chop up some apples and throw ’em in your muffin batter. They make the muffins nice and moist, and add a bit of sweetness. I usually add some cinnamon too. Makes ’em smell real nice while they’re bakin’.
- Apple Cake: A good apple cake is a thing of beauty. You can use Gala apples in it, they’ll make it nice and moist. I like to add a bit of spice, like cinnamon and nutmeg, and maybe some nuts too, if I got ’em. A good apple cake is perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.
- Apple Turnovers: These are little hand pies, you know? You fill ’em with chopped apples and spices, then fold ’em over and bake ’em. They’re great for a snack or dessert. And the kids love to grab one and go.
And don’t forget you can use Gala apples in savory dishes too. I ain’t done it much myself, but I heard tell of Stuffed Baked Apples. You scoop out the core of the apple, then stuff it with sausage or breadcrumbs or whatever you like. Bake it till it’s tender, and you got a whole meal in one apple! That sounds kinda fancy for me though. I stick mostly to the sweet stuff.
The thing about Gala apples is they’re sweet and juicy, see? So they work best in recipes where you want that sweetness to shine through. They ain’t the best for things like applesauce, ’cause they get too soft, but for baking, they’re just about perfect. They bake up real nice and tender, and they don’t turn to mush. And they got that pretty color, makes everything look a little bit nicer.
So there you have it, a few ideas for what to do with them Gala apples. Don’t be afraid to experiment, you know? Cooking ain’t rocket science. Just throw some stuff together, and see what happens. Most of the time, it turns out pretty good. And even if it don’t, well, you can always try again. That’s what I always say, can’t get it right the first time, try try again. Worst thing happens, you feed it to the chickens and they get fat, haha! But with Gala apples, you got a good chance of makin’ somethin’ delicious. So go on, get in that kitchen and get cookin’! Your belly will thank you for it.
