Apple Brunch Menu

Weekends are perfect for slowing things down and gathering the family together for great conversation over a delicious meal. Welcome the weekend with a mid-morning brunch around the kitchen table, featuring apples and apple foods at the center of the plate.

Draft some kitchen help and you can involve the whole family in developing healthy eating habits. Ask the kids to help sprinkle cinnamon on the baked apples, and keep the apple juice cool with frozen, cut-up apple "cubes." Cut a couple of apples into cubes the night before and pop them in the freezer so they will be ready to keep your drinks cold by morning. You are sure to dazzle the entire family with these great-tasting apple recipes. After a healthfully hearty meal and quality time with the family, everyone will be ready to enjoy the weekend.
