How to Include Apples in Your Daily Plate?
Apples are undoubtedly one of the most versatile fruits out there. Sweet or savory, raw or cooked, they can transform a recipe in an instant. Here are some ideas to bring one of Québec’s finest treasures into your everyday meals.
Simple ideas for enjoying apples from morning to night
At breakfast
From the very first meal of the day, apples bring freshness and crunch. Diced into a bowl of yogurt, grated into warm oatmeal, or simply sliced on toast, they turn a basic breakfast into a nourishing and satisfying option. A pinch of cinnamon or a handful of nuts is often all it takes to elevate the dish.
In salads — and sandwiches too!
At lunchtime, apples easily find their way into savoury dishes. They add a refreshing touch to salads, but also to sandwiches, which are often underestimated. To build the perfect sandwich, it’s all about thinking outside the box and playing with textures and flavours. The secret ingredient? Apples. They add crunch and a sweet-tart note that makes all the difference. For best results, lightly grill your sandwich in a panini press. Who said sandwiches had to be boring?

The perfect pairing for fondue
When autumn arrives, we turn up the heat, pull out our cozy sweaters — and, of course, the fondue pot. What could be more autumnal than a fondue night? Are you more of a savoury or sweet fondue fan? Either way, apples are just as delicious dipped in melted cheese as they are in chocolate.
Sweet and savoury combinations
In recent years, sweet-and-savory flavour pairings have become increasingly popular. Fans of salted caramel, raise your hands! Apples are without a doubt one of the best ingredients for this flavour combination. Their natural sweet-tart profile balances perfectly with salty caramel. Still not convinced? A cinnamon apple and cheddar bread, or a salad with candied nuts, apples and bacon, might just change your mind.
Tip: How to Choose the Crunchiest Apples
We can all agree — there’s nothing more satisfying than biting into a crisp apple. But how do you keep apples crunchy? It starts with choosing them wisely.
- Vary the varieties depending on their use: more tart apples are ideal for savoury dishes, while sweeter varieties work best in desserts and snacks.
- Handle them with care, as apples bruise easily.
- Store them in a cool place to preserve their crunch and freshness, especially if you enjoy them daily.
