You buy fruit for the week, and everyone gets to enjoy their favourite one; however, there is always one green apple that nobody wants. And it simply stays there for days before you start wondering if anybody will ever want to eat it. However, since it is still fresh, there is no point in throwing it away. There are a lot of things that you can do with a slightly tart apple, and you probably have most of the other ingredients already. Before ordering groceries, take a quick look through the kitchen. You may not need to buy much at all.

Blend It And Move On

A smoothie is the easiest answer when you want to use the apple without doing much. Cut it up, take out the core and put it in the blender with a banana, yoghurt and some ice. Have a taste once it is blended. If it is too sharp, add another banana or a date. A little honey works too. If you enjoy the sourness, don’t change a thing. It is unnecessary to strictly follow the smoothie recipe.

Make A Quick Chutney

Got more than one apple to use? A great way of using those fruits is making chutney. Chop up the fruits and then make a chutney out of them by adding ginger, green chilli, jaggery or sugar along with some spices to it. Then add some lemon juice or vinegar to it for that tangy taste. It can be made either a bit chunky or soft. Try it with parathas, pakoras or sandwiches. It is also surprisingly good next to a basic dal and rice meal.

Add It To Your Salad

If you are the least bit inclined towards cooking, then try making a salad. Chop the apple finely and mix it with the cucumber, carrot, lettuce and whatever other vegetables you think you will require. Regarding the salad dressing, it should be kept simple. Lemon juice, salt, and pepper are all that you will require. A little bit of honey may be used to cut down the sourness. Walnuts and roasted peanuts would be an excellent addition. The apple will definitely give your salad some crunch.

Let The Oven Do The Work

Do you have some apples that should be consumed? Put your apples in the oven pan together with cinnamon and sugar. Cook them until they become soft. You can eat them warm with yoghurt or even put them on the porridge tomorrow. In case you would like to prepare them as dessert, put on top some oats, flour, butter and sugar and bake until golden.

Do Not Buy A Whole New List

Before heading out or placing another order, see what is already in the cupboards. You may have the oats, cinnamon, sugar, nuts, and all the other essentials that you require. If you lack anything, then Instamart will deliver these additional few things to your home. Ordering groceries will save you from making an additional supermarket trip for one or two items.

Use It Before It Gets Forgotten

The next time you find a green apple sitting untouched, change the way you serve it. Make a smoothie if you are in a hurry. Cook a chutney if you have several to use. Slice one into a salad or bake it when you want something sweet.

There is no “correct” way to use it. The sensible option is simply the one that fits your day and helps you finish what you already have.
