This was one of the first weekends in NYC where it truly felt like fall -- the hint of brisk cool weather, sunny skies with a few showers, and lots and lots of apples. But what to do when the thought of another pie or sweet baked good turns you off of the season's prime fruit? Read on for 5 ways to capture the savory flavor of apples.
• Apple and Cheese-Stuffed Latkes: Latkes aren't just for Hanukkah -- apples replace potatoes in a twist on the classic recipe.
• Spelt Crust Pizza with Fennel, Prosciutto, and Apples: Thinly sliced apples as a pizza topping takes pizza to a new sweet and savory level!
• Pork Chops with Sweet-and-Sour Cabbage and Apples: You can't go wrong pairing apples with pork chops, and this version adds tangy cabbage and cider vinegar to the mix.
• Tuna, Arugula and Apple Sandwiches: Smooth tuna, crisp apples, and fresh arugula make for a crunchy take on the basic tuna sandwich.
• Braised Escarole with Apples and Bacon: Apples help cut the bitterness of escarole in this dish, with some crisp bacon to top it off.

Apples 'n' onions!!! Amazing. I also love chunked apples in butter-braised cabbage with onions and kielbasa. Except I was out of apples last night, so I substituted bosc pears. Not quiet as good, but still lovely.
Mashed squash with cooked apples is also quite good.
I just went apple picking, thanks so much for rounding these up!!
Oh, yum. I would like a tuna, arugula, and apple sandwich, please.
This autumn, I made apple-bacon-cheddar pie. I judged a pie competition that had this particular combination, and so I tried to recreate it at home. More sweet than savory, but yum. Recipe HERE.
When I was in elementary school, I remember staying the night at my friends house, and his mom made Pork and Apple Pie. It was freaking delicious!! And I've searched high and low for a decent recipe that was the same formula, but I haven't been able to find one.
It was a regular looking pie, with a savory filling of ground pork, onions, and apples... anyone have a recipe for something like that?

Great for weeknight family dinner and fancy enough to serve guests, this recipe is fast! I only had ground coriander so I guessed at the amount... fabulous!
