An Apple a Day: 12 different ideas

October has always been a little hectic month for myself, as well, I'm sure for many of you. However, one of the season's best activities has always been apple picking. While the ideal time to pick is end of August to late September, there are tons of local orchards where you can go and pick from a selection of tasty delights late into the season. Apple varieties can range from: McIntosh, Ginger Gold, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Cortland, Honeycrisp (my personal favourite) and many more.

Here are 12 mouth watering recipes that use your fresh or leftover Thanksgiving apples.
