Ron Ben-Israel's Baked Apples

"When I was younger, I didn't like raw apples, so I made baked ones. I'd core them, stuff them with nuts and raisins, drizzle with honey, sprinkle with cinnamon, and bake them in a pan filled with 0.6 cm of water for 30-40 minutes at 180°C."

Ree Drummond's Hot Cheese and Apple Sandwich

"As a kid, my favorite apple snack was applesauce—I was a fan of The Brady Bunch and loved the way Peter Brady pronounced the word 'shoush.' Now I love adding apple slices to a hot cheese sandwich for extra crunch and sweetness."

Geoffrey Zakarian's Apple Yogurt

"My kids love all kinds of apples from the farmers market. Here's one of our favorite recipes: peel and quarter 4 Gala and Golden Delicious apples, simmer, covered, with 2 tablespoons agave syrup and 1/2 cup water, for about 20 minutes until soft, then puree. The kids love adding it to yogurt."

Melissa De Arabian's Apples with Speculoos Pasta

"Once, as a teenager, I fell at the skating rink and knocked out my front tooth, which meant I could only eat apples cut up. Now I still slice them and dip them in a paste made from Belgian cookies called Speculoos—it's the new Nutella, just like Nutella was the new peanut butter!"
