Taste & Aroma: sweet or sour, astringent 

Affinities:
apples + caramel + cinnamon
apples + caramel + almond
apples + caramel + peanuts
apples + apricots + pine nuts + rosemary
apples + ginger + lemon + sugar
apples + raisin + rum
apples + cream + ginger
apples + oyster + wasabi
apples + cinnamon + dark chocolate + yams
apples + yogurt + chicken 
apples + cheese + pumpkin seed + figs
apples + brown sugar + cream + walnuts
apples + foie gras + chicken liver

 Surprisingly, the sweetness and acidity of the apple pairs pretty amazing well with the fattiness of the foie gras. Green apples tend to be more acidity to red apples, the acidity will help cut off the excessive fattiness from the foie gras. Apple gives an incredible contrast to a dish, especially in salad with its bright colored skin. 

Do let me know if you have any apple flavor affinities!
