Apples, Red Delicious

Apples, Red Delicious
(Apples, Red Delicious) Red delicious apples are a sweet, medium firm, eating variety.  They soften on cooking and are not a good choice for pies, but they are acceptable for recipes such as apple crisp.  The texture of red delicious apples becomes "mealy" with storage.  They are best purchased in season.  When buying at other times of the year, choose apples that are firm and free of wrinkles.  See the nutritional chart below.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
