Recipe Tips

Apple VarietiesLook for apples that are firm and well colored with smooth, blemish-free skins. Choose the variety that best suits your needs. All-purpose apples for both eating raw and cooking uses include Cortland, Granny Smith, Jonathan, Fuji, Gravenstein, Empire, Jonagold, McIntosh, Pippin, Spy and Winesap. Best snacking and salad apples are Gala, Golden Delicious and Red Delicious. When cooking, use Rhode Island Greening, Rome Beauty or York Imperial.
How to Help Prevent the Apples from Turning Brown
Toss the chopped apples with 1 to 2 tsp. lemon juice before tossing them with the pecans. Then, brush the apple slices lightly with additional lemon juice before placing them on the serving plate.
Variation
Prepare recipe as directed, substituting green and red Anjou pears for the apples, chopped toasted walnuts for the pecans, and hot honey for the syrup.
