Chef’s note: Apples are low in calories and fat and high in fiber and antioxidants. Their natural sweetness makes them great for desserts. Some of the best apple varieties for baking include Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Empire, Jonathan, Cortland and Braeburn. If you want to make your own apple pie spice, just mix together 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon allspice and 1/8 teaspoon cardamom.
