Tips

Tart baking apples such as Northern Spy, Granny Smith, Spartan, Crispin (Mutsu) or Cortland give the best fruit flavour and texture.

Healthy Eating Tip: Absorbing Facts- milk is one of the few foods that contains vitamin D. That's important because we need vitamin D to help our body absorb and use calcium.

For the Adventurous: Sprinkle 1/2 cup (125 mL) of dried cranberries over apple slices in step 1.
