Superstar Remmi Smith cooks up apples for fall!
What’s the best way to bring in the fall season? With apples, of course! If you missed it, we did a blog earlier in the month on apple recipes, but we thought we’d circle back with our resident healthy cooking expert, Remmi Smith from Cook Time with Remmi! Check out her latest post here!
Hi fans of Ask.Listen.Learn! I‘m Chef Remmi of Cook Time with Remmi and I’m so excited to share some of my favorite healthy recipes. Well the fall season is upon us and apples are in season. Today I am going to share with you some of my favorite recipes with apples as one of the main flavors that make the dish special and taste great! I will also share some fun food facts and food history…I love food and I love reading about food too! Did you know the reason apples float in water is because their volume is 25% air? I start with my “Cornbread Dressing with Apples”, then I make a great coleslaw, and then I finish up with “Chicken Curry Soup with Apples.” Watch the video to learn how to make these great dishes! And I have listed the recipe instructions below.
