I love going apple picking. From getting the opportunity to spend time with your best friends to taking tons of Insta-worthy pictures, apple picking is one of the best things about fall. I always have one problem in the end; I never know what to do with all of those apples that I picked.
Here are a few apple recipes that you can make with all of those leftover apples. From breakfast eats and dessert treats all the way to savory dips and cheesy sandwiches, you'll definitely put all of your fall fruits to good use.
