These days apples can be bought all year long in the U.S. supermarkets. I still think the best tasting apples are the ones we get in the fall, which is when they are locally harvested.

Just what it says!, Member jamie1963

I suddenly had company coming over, so I jump online, and start looking at receipes that were quick and easy. This only had a few ingredients, and I had them all, so I flew with it. It was so simple, and my guests thought it was terrific and so did my family. What a life-saver.
