Apple Cider

Apple-Date Compote with Apple-Cider Yogurt Cheese

Pastry chef Valerie Hill offers this appealing treat at the Morrison-Clark Historic Inn & Restaurant in Washington, D.C. Allowing the yogurt to drain produces the thick and creamy yogurt cheese.

Honey-and-Spice Cranberry Sauce

Terrific with roast turkey or pork.

Creamy Cider-Braised Chicken and Leeks

A combination of creamy sauce and tender cider-braised chicken makes this a comforting dish equally ideal for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal.

Lumberjack

Ideal for starting the night, this cozy concoction blends apple cider with a hint of burnt orange and rosemary.

BA’s Best Apple Pie

Reducing the liquid in this mile-high apple pie recipe to a syrupy consistency concentrates the flavor and yields the ideal juicy sauciness.

Chaider

This chaider recipe is our warm, spiced-up, wintery alternative to bulletproof coffee. It’s a sweet mash-up of masala chai flavors and mulled cider, with an unexpected buttery finish to smooth it all out.

Cider-Braised Pork Shoulder With Butternut Squash

Bone-in pork shoulder is one of the least expensive, party-friendly animal proteins you can buy. This recipe will feed 10—with leftovers!

Apple Butter

What to do with that overzealous orchard haul? Homemade apple butter is the answer.

Apple Caramels

If you don’t have any (or don’t like) hazelnuts, try this autumnal treat with coconut flakes, pecans, walnuts, or peanuts—or simply leave them out.

Hard Cider Spritz

Instead of lemon juice, you can use fresh grapefruit or orange juice; bourbon is a great sub for rye.

BA’s Best Apple Cider Doughnuts

These sugared doughnuts are craggy and crunchy on the outside, tender and moist on the inside. Apple butter (not sauce!) is key to their texture and flavor; look for it alongside jams and jellies in the supermarket, or at farmers’ markets, or make your own.

Cider Roast Turkey with Applejack Gravy

This recipe comes from the November 1991 issue and is part of our Thanksgiving Hall of Fame series. It's an oldie but a goodie.

Apple Cider–Cooked Farro

Boiling farro in apple cider—a move from New York restaurant Charlie Bird— infuses grains with character.

The Retox

Like the opposite of master cleanse, with a similar kick.
