The Sourdough Slice

Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning.

Hey Reader,

Picture this: It's 6 AM, I'm still half asleep, and I'm boiling water for my coffee. I turn the burner knob off and suddenly... ⚡POP⚡... a big blue spark of electricity shoots out of the back of my oven.

Being absolutely terrified of fire, I immediately turned off the breaker and started panicking. There aren't many things more horrifying to a baker than having an oven suddenly go on the fritz.

Thankfully, I was able to get a local appliance repair guy out that same day and he fixed it for me, so crisis averted! But I was definitely not a happy camper for a little while there.

Luckily, the rest of the week was much less eventful. A company called RootedFare was kind enough to send me some of their sesame butters to try, and I used some to make the cutest sourdough cookies for Halloween. I also found an adorable sleeping baby vole while I was cleaning up my garden and harvested all of my basil, which turned into almost 2 pounds of homemade pesto for the freezer!

And now that the garden season is winding down, apple picking season is ramping up here in Massachusetts. Which means I'm about to be swimming in apples! 🍎

So today, I'm sharing five of my favorite sourdough apple recipes for you to make this fall.

I hope you find one you love and enjoy! ☺️

To help you get the best results, here are some ingredients and tools I recommend:

• ​Food Scale - Measuring by weight is the easiest way to get consistent results every time.
• ​Dutch Oven - Creates steam while baking so you get a beautiful rise and crust.
• ​Aluminum Loaf Pan - Promotes even baking for soft, golden sandwich loaves.
• ​Straight-Sided Containers - Easier to track bulk fermentation.
• ​Bread Sling - Helps you safely transfer dough into a hot Dutch oven.
• ​Lame - Gives you control and confidence when scoring your dough for an even rise.
• ​Proofer - Allows you to control the proofing temperature to better predict bulk fermentation timing.
• ​Donut Pan - Perfect for making baked donuts at home.
