Over the Flame or from the Fridge: Six Ways to Enjoy Apples this Summer
Whether for good health or just for the halibut, apples are the ideal ingredient to mix up your favorite summer fare (think skewered apples and halibut kabobs)! This season, whether you and your friends prefer grilling or chilling, apples make the ideal companion for all summer adventures.
We all love and need apples year round, and in the summertime there are two very different yet very delicious ways to enjoy your daily apple: You can either grill it or chill it. Because most apples are naturally sweet, they liven up your cold beverages AND also make the perfect pairing for savory, sizzling foods fresh off the grill.
From Galas over the grill to Braeburns by the beach, try any of the six recipes below to grill or chill your daily dose of apples this summer.
