Recipe by Tina Christian, honorable mention in the 2024 Cosmic Crisp® Culinary Challenge in the Entertaining category.

Ingredients

  • 3 Cosmic Crisp® apples
  • 2 Lemons
  • 1 1/2 c. Arugula
  • 1 c. Baby Spinach
  • 2 tbsp. Red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Avacado oil
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 16oz package of turkey sausage
  • 1/2 tsp Thyme
  • 1 clove of Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp sage
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • Crumbled goat cheese 1-2 c.
  • Fontina cheese grated
  • 1-2 jars of fig jam
  • 1-3 tbsp honey
  • Cinnamon
  • 6 slices of flatbread

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F middle rack
  2. Gather and prep:
  3. Cut and squeeze lemon into a medium bowl.
  4. Slice apples into half circle shapes.
  5. Mix the apples with the lemon juice set aside.
  6. Roughly chop spinach and arugula transfer to a bowl.
  7. Mix red wine vinegar and 1 tbsp of avocado oil in a separate bowl then mix into the greens. Set aside.
  8. Put a sheet of parchment paper on 2 cookie sheets and place the flatbreads on them.
  9. Spread desired amount of fig jam on the flatbread (I like a lot so I generously cover the bread) and set aside.
  10. Mix Thyme sage oregano nutmeg in a small bowl and set aside.
  11. Chop and mince garlic.
  12. Dice onion set aside.
  13. Grate fontina cheese you get the idea set that aside.
  14. Crumble goat cheese in a bowl.
  15. In a frying pan heat 1 tbsp of avocado oil and crumble the turkey sausage. Cook for a minute.
  16. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the meat.
  17. Mix in the spices from the bowl (not the garlic).
  18. Cook until browned around 6-8 mins. on medium/medium high heat (depending on your stove). You want it brown not burnt. Stirring and chopping in the pan periodically.
  19. When done drain if necessary on paper towel lined plate or bowl. A fun trick to drain if you don’t want to touch it yet-use a strong paper towel in the last minute of cooking swirling and tilting the pan gently running it around the sides and bottom outer edge of the pan (not the middle) with a spatula then toss the towel in the garbage.
  20. Spread even amounts of meat on each flatbread.
  21. In the same pan caramelize the onion for about 15 minutes or longer on low and slow. Using a mix of 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp avocado oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  22. In the last minute add the garlic clove. If you’re impatient and don’t want to wait for the goodness 15 mins. or longer brings turn up the heat to medium and sauté 4 minutes still adding the garlic in the last minute.
  23. Dust each flatbread with onion.
  24. Layer on cheeses.
  25. Sauté apples in a clean pan on medium for a couple of minutes.

Not your childhood applesauce 🍎🍑⁠ Peaches found their perfect match in Cosmic Crisp®. No added sugar, just two fruits at their peak & simmered down into a naturally sweet & lightly spiced sauce. ⁠
⁠
Ingredients:⁠
🍎 4 Large Cosmic Crisp® Apples, Diced⁠
🍑 24 Oz Frozen Peach Slices⁠
🍋 1 Lemon, Juiced⁠
💧 3/4 Cup Filtered Water⁠
⁠
Directions⁠
1. Add all ingredients to a large pot. Cover with a lid and place over medium heat.⁠
2. Cook for about 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently until the fruit has cooked down & is soft all the way through. A fork should easily pierce an apple. If the mixture is bubbling too much, reduce the heat to medium-low.⁠
Add everything to a blender, working in batches if needed. Blend until completely smooth, then pour back into the pot.⁠
3. Place back over medium-low heat, stirring frequently for about 10-15 minutes to cook down/thicken a bit more. This step is optional but recommended.⁠
4. Remove from the heat and let cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.⁠

Cosmic Crisp® said oxidation? Never heard of her 🍎🧬 ⁠
⁠⁠
Cultivated with naturally higher levels of sugar & acidity, this helps make the apple incredibly slow-to-brown. Translation? No sad brown apples ever 👏⁠
