What Chefs Are Doing with Ontario Apples, Right Now

Thanksgiving might be behind us, but there’s still plenty of delicious things to celebrate on the horizon — including a zillion and one ways to use Ontario apples. With snow falling in many parts of Ontario, it’s safe to say that apples are no off the trees and a fresh batch of cider has hit shelves across the province. We’ve been indulging in this powerhouse fruit for weeks — and we think you should too.

Here are some inspiring ways Feast On certified restaurants are showcasing Ontario apples right now — including some awesome stops along the Apple Pie Trail in the heart of apple country!
