I love apples. I know I don’t tend to eat a lot of apples as I am on a modified Keto diet. But I think it is nice to splurge every once in a while with something yummy with the other restrictions in place. Hence, I love cinnamon apples they go extremely well with pork chops or turkey. Not to mention, it has long been a favorite of mine. I like the sweet and tangy taste. However, you should feel free to use whatever apples you like. In summary, I also like to use apple juice to amp up the apple flavor. Whatever juice is used the ingredients should only be apples. You can juice fresh apples or fresh pineapple and then juice or purchase a juice (with no refined sugar added) juice. Therefore, purchase a brand you like or even substitute water. Needless to say, the choice is yours.
Needless to say, I on occasion will travel to Apple Hill, CA, and purchase apples to can or make pies with. They always have fresh Apple Cider with no added ingredients. Not to mention, you can watch the cider being made. Hence, our local Costco sells Apple Cider seasonally made with only apples.
Notes:
Apples have long been an accompaniment for pork, turkey, or chicken. In fact, when doing research I found several sources who believed the first Apple Pie recipe was written in “The Forme of Cury” written in the 14th century (1). Since I feel like this recipe is like apple pie filling. Therefore, making recipes retro, vintage, and classical. Hence, they are also perfect as a filling for Gluten-Free Sweet Dessert Crepes.
Moreover, Amazon has cinnamon, cardamom, coconut juice, and tapioca flour.
