Check out these 11 apple-inspired recipes and put them on your rotation asap.

The New York Times

Bon Appetit
Calvados is the star of the show in this take on hot buttered rum. Cider, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice flavor the brown sugar and butter mixture. Make it ahead of time and freeze individual ice cubes so that you can just reheat them with cider one cup at a time. Get the recipe here.
