Yesterday during a staff meeting we somehow got onto the
subject of our logo and how versatile apples are in cooking. You can put apples in desserts, salads, stews,
sandwiches, well…almost anything. Here is an upcoming recipe from our menu. What
is your favorite apple recipe? Email it to us at cooking@stellibell.com and we will post some of them here. Thanks!
