Easy Apple Recipes for Low-Energy Days

We've all been there: a bowl full of apples on the counter, but barely enough energy to lift a finger. Whether they're from apple picking, a grocery store sale, or an enthusiastic neighbor's tree, here are the absolute easiest ways to use those apples before they go bad.

Minimal Effort Apple Solutions

Slow cooker applesauce: Quarter apples (don't even peel them!), toss into slow cooker with 1/4 cup water and cinnamon. Cook on low for 6 hours.
Microwave baked apple: Core one apple, stuff with butter and brown sugar, microwave for 2-3 minutes.
Apple and peanut butter plates: Slice apple, add dollop of peanut butter. Done.

Slightly More Ambitious (But Still Easy) Options

If you can muster just a tiny bit more energy, try rough-chopping apples and throwing them into your morning oatmeal, or tossing them into a sheet pan with chicken sausage for a hands-off dinner. Both require minimal prep and almost zero attention.

And when all else fails? Simply wash your apples and place them in a pretty bowl in your fridge. Cold, crisp apples make an excellent grab-and-go snack that requires zero preparation. Sometimes the easiest solution is the best one.
