Scalloped Apple Casserole

apple recipes

Not only is today Taste of Home Tuesday here at Red Cottage Chronicles, but I am also joining in on #AppleWeek today.  

What does that mean for you?  My featured Taste of Home Recipe of course, plus some yummy comfort food recipes from a few of my fellow Taste of Home Volunteer Food Editors.  Then to top it all off, you will find links to a whole host of apple recipes.  

Now, when you think of apples you tend to think desserts, baked goods and sweets.   Today’s #AppleWeek theme is apple recipes for mains and side dishes!

Lots of autumn inspiration for you today,  beginning with a review of this apple recipe from TOH:

Scalloped Apple Casserole

A take on scalloped potatoes, this recipe would be delicious served with pork.  

I can’t help remembering the line from the Brady Bunch when Peter, in a very poor attempt at a Humphrey Bogart accent said “pork chops and apple sauce for supper”.  I have no idea why, but that has stuck with me all these years!  

Well, I didn’t have any pork on hand, but it didn’t stop me from saying that line in my best Peter Brady Humphrey Bogart impression!

I served this delicious tender crisp apple side dish along side pan fried chicken breast and fresh peas.  I also halved the recipe exactly and made it in a 9″ square pan instead of a 9 x 13 since there were only 4 of us for dinner.  Big Mistake.  Gone in a flash.  Next time I will be making a full pan!

A few things I found helpful:

  • Although no specific type of bread crumbs are specified in the recipe, I used Panko bread crumbs which gave the topping a delicious buttery crunch.
  • I recommend you invest in a mandolin for slicing the apples.  It gets them nice and thin and trust me, you will use it for so much more.   Just yesterday I used mine to dice onions and shred cabbage in no time at all.  You can find one similar to mine here.

I will definitely be making this Scalloped Apple Casserole again soon.  With the holidays coming faster than I care to admit (and all the parties that go along with them), I know for sure it would be a big hit at any pot luck!

    1. I highly recommend you give it a try!! I would even serve it as a dessert by mixing a bit of brown sugar with the bread crumbs, and topping with ice cream 🙂
