Acknowledgments
Many thanks to the abundance of family and friends who offered support and willing palates during the tasting portion of creating this book. My husband, Dit, is always there to pick up dinner when I’ve spent the day elbow deep in pies, pots, and pans. I couldn’t do any of it without his quiet and consistent encouragement. To my girls Emily Bishop and Corinne—thanks for always being good sports when mom is into her projects.
Thank you to Brett Ortler, Emily Beaumont, and Lora Westberg at AdventureKEEN for guiding me through this book and others. Cheers to all who celebrate the printed recipe!

About the Author
About Apples
The familiar cracking sound as you bite into a ripe and juicy apple is about as mouthwatering as the fruit’s sweet-to-tangy flavor and flowery aroma. It’s no wonder the humble apple is America’s favorite fruit.
•Apples originated in an area between the Caspian and Black Seas and archaeologists have evidence that humans have consumed apples for thousands of years.
•There are 7,500-plus varieties of apples grown worldwide.
•In the U.S., there are perhaps 2,500 varieties of apples, but only around 100 are grown commercially. The only apple native to North America is the crabapple.
•Americans, per capita, enjoy apples more than any other type of fruit. About two-thirds of the U.S. apple crop is eaten as fresh fruit.
•Washington produces more than half of the apples grown in the U.S. Other top states include New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, California, and Virginia. About a quarter of harvested apples are exported.
•Apples are the second-most valuable fruit in the U.S., behind oranges. Some of the most popular varieties include Honeycrisp, Gala, Fuji, and Granny Smith. For decades, Red Delicious was the most-consumed apple in the U.S., thanks in part to its toughness and resistance to damage (making shipping easier), but its popularity
