Sweet or savory, apples should be on pizza.
It’s the summer season, and the harvest of apples will soon be abundant. I deeply love apples since I grew up exploring my grandparents’ orchards. When I open my office window, and see small trees of pink lady apples shimmer in the sun. The growth of pretty ladies around the Louisville region is a fun experiment since these gorgeous beauties prefer the scorching heat and give the fruit a high level of sweetness. As temperatures rise, the pink ladies, often called Cripps Pink, are a perfect match for the weather. I simply have an entire Pink Lady harvest to eat right from the tree. Pink ladies are lovely for baking too.
Red Delicious are great as a topping for salads. The skin doesn’t stand well to the high temperatures of a pizza oven.
Granny Smith is tart in the most delicious way. Although you can use it as a final ingredient, Granny Smith apples maintain their shape when baking.
Golden Delicious has the perfect sweetness and mild flavor that makes Golden Delicious an excellent choice for many applications, such as sauces.
Honey Crisp is a firm, juicy apple that is great to bake with or for post-bake baking.
Gala is a mildly sweet apple that could be broken down in baking.
Fuji is a late-season apple that can be a post-bake dessert option.
McIntosh’s juicy, sweet, tart flavor makes it among the top apple.
Empire Like McIntosh is an excellent all-purpose selection.
Apples to source for your restaurant
You can find a wide selection of apples from your primary retailer or distributor. If you’re pursuing an area-specific or regional focus, you can get apples at the farmers’ markets or directly from the farmers. The best way to determine who is growing apples in your region is to call the local extension bureau or growers’ group. You may also find an area-wide food hub or farm cooperatives.
How can I stop the apples from turning brown after cutting
Browning occurs almost instantly after cutting apples. It can happen almost immediately after cutting.
The apples can be cored, cut into slices, diced, or wrapped in rings. When you begin cutting, the apples start to get brown. It’s essential to avoid the apples from turning brown during cutting. When you cut apples, put them in the saltwater bath with 1/4 teaspoon salt for 2 cups of water every 10 minutes. It is possible to test the desired proportion between salt and water. Drain the salt and store it for future make use.
If you want to add some zest to the apple flavor, Try a vinegar pickling method using cider vinegar made from apples, as Chris Decker suggested in his On Deck column: Pork Belly and Honey Crisp Apples Pizza.
Peel or not? The choice of using apple peels is entirely your choice. It’s your choice. Some instances don’t require peeling, such as a dessert apple pizza. For other pizzas peeling the pizza can add some variety to the appearance of the pizza.
