TIPS & ADVICE
No time to bake? Fresh fruit crisps can match fruit pies fork to fork in terms of flavor—and they win the race from mixing bowl to oven to table.
Apple pie is the touchstone by which all other apple desserts are measured. But don't overlook other apple desserts: try apple dumplings, apple crisp, and apple strudel.
Apple pie can be as simple or gourmet as you want to make it: for a fancier pie, try adding cranberries, quince, or dried cherries to the filling, or different spices and nuts.
