Tyler Florence Fridays: I think I need to make this again


In my "spare time" this month, we managed to get apple picking with the children and our friends. As I mentioned before, we tried a new orchards, and while it was pretty, I think next year we will go back to our usual orchard, which has more ladders, a corn maze, and more importantly, apple cider donuts.

Warm, tiny, apple cider donuts, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.

Are you wondering what this has to do with my Tyler Florence Fridays choice for this week? There is a connection, really, there is. No, there are not any donuts in this week's choice, but there is apples and apple juice.

The donuts would be a nice addition though, wouldn't they?

You can find the recipe for Thick Pork Chops with Spiced Apples and Raisins online, or on pages 58 and 59 of Tyler's Real Kitchen (a book I must return to the library, three renewals is the maximum allowed.) I did not use bone in pork chops, I had pork loin chops, but it seemed to work and was quite tasty. And used up some of the apples I have not had the time to make into apple crumble.

I think this is the second last Friday for Tyler Florence Fridays. I'm still trying to decide if I want to try cooking Nigella for my next chef, again, in all my spare time.

Have a nice day and eat an apple - I have plenty left if you need one!

I love going to the apple orchard! This is the epitome of fall dishes and it looks fantastic. This is one that I want to make someday. And, like you I love apple cider donuts. I have had my fair share of them this year!

Yum, I loved this one too.
And I love cider donuts! We have an orchard not too far away that makes them fresh and hot. Mmmm...
Dinner looks great!

What is this I've been hearing about apple cider doughnuts? Perhaps if I didn't live in the desert I would have a clue.

Anyways, I think the one thing I miss the most about living in NY was the apple orchards. Nothing like an apple fresh from the tree.
