Rose over at On a Lobster Placemat (the cleverest blog name EVA!) has tagged us to pick this week’s Blogger Secret Ingredient.
So, in honor of the autumnal equinox, this week’s secret ingredient is:
What is more autumn-y than a crisp apple straight from the orchard? Or grocery store. Same diff.
We’re gonna mix it up a bit and as an incentive for tapping into your apple genius, we are (well really, Erin is) going to send a loaf of EXTRA SPECIAL & FABULOUS OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD bread to the person who posts/sends in the most original or creative use of apples in a meal or snack. This bread is worth fighting over, so we expect to see some brilliance peeps!
You know the rules, if you post a recipe, link it back to our site so that we can give you credit for it. And if you’re a non-blogger, but avid reader, and want to play along at home, just email us the recipe!
We’ll post all the recipes and decide on a winner Sunday night. Happy eating!

I was hoping apples too! I just had a big bowl of straight-up-no-seasonings-but-cinnamon cooked apples and wow. Nothing like it when they are so fresh in season. I’m definitely in for this challenge.

Hi! I haven’t posted on your blog before, but I’ve been doing the Blogger Secret Ingredient thing. Does applesauce count? If so, I’ve got my recipe up on my blog. Nice choice of ingredient!
