Not every apple needs to look perfect to make a great pie.

If you're planning to peel, slice, chop or cook your apples anyway, Bakers Grade Apples can be a great choice for your favorite fall recipes. They may have some cosmetic imperfections or an unusual shape, but they're still ready to be turned into something delicious.

So before you pass them by, let's talk about why Bakers Grape Apples are worth bringing home.

What Are Bakers Grade Apples?

Bakers Grade Apples are apples that may not meet the cosmetic standards for our regular retail display. You might notice a blemish, unusual shape or other surface imperfection, but that doesn't mean they can't be delicious in the kitchen.

In fact, when you're making apple pie, apple crisp, applesauce or another favorite apple recipe, you're likely going to peel and cut the apples anway.

That's where Bakers Grade Apples really shine.

They're a practical option for anyone who wants plenty of apples for baking and cooking without needing every apple to look picture-perfect.

Why Use Bakers Grade Apples for Baking?

When you're baking with apples, appearance isn't usually the most important thing. What matters is having apples that work well in your recipe and bring plenty of apple flavor.

Bakers Grade Apples are perfect for recipes where apples are going to be:

• Peeled and sliced for apple pie
• Chopped for apple crisp
• Cooked down into applesauce
• Simmered into apple butter
• Folded into muffins or quick breads
• Baked into cakes and other desserts

And if you're planning a weekend of fall baking, having a larger quantity of apples on hand makes it easy to make more than one recipe.

Don't Judge an Apple by Its Looks

The next time you're stocking up on apples for fall baking, don't overlook the ones that don't look quite perfect.

Bakers Grade Apples are ready to be peeled, sliced, chopped, baked and turned into something delicious. Whether you're making a homemade apple pie, a warm apple crisp or a big batch of applesauce, these apples have plenty of possibilities in the kitchen.

Because sometimes the best apple for your recipe isn't the one that looks perfect in the basket.
