Choosing the Right Apple
Many types of freshly harvested apples are available in late summer through the fall; others are available most of the year. Some are sweet, some are tart and some are better for baking than others. The recipes in this chapter work well with Newtown Pippin, Rome, Greening and Granny Smith varieties, and suitable apple types are listed in the recipes.
Blueberry Crisp: Substitute 4 cups fresh or frozen (thawed and drained) blueberries for the apples. Rhubarb Crisp: Substitute 4 cups cut-up rhubarb for the apples.
