A crunchy, sweet, fall farmers-market-fresh take on the classic Lebanese dish. Quinoa replaces cracked bulgur wheat and apples add sweetness while toasted walnuts add a rich crunch. Make a double batch to break out for lunch or a quick snack.

Salty pancetta, sweet-tart apples and just a touch of fresh, grassy parsley combine to give this simple and quick side a flavor that is much greater than the sum of its parts. GoldRush, a cross with Golden Delicious, may have the same smooth, wax-free appearance of it’s parent, but the flesh inside is wonderfully crisp, with beautifully balanced sweetness and acidity and complex spiced notes.

Crisp, gooey, rich and comforting, this grilled cheese balances sweet-tart apples, earthy chives, sharp cheddar and butter, toasted bread.
