Tips and tricks

Choose a firm, crispy apple, crispy a Cortland or Honeycrisp, to add freshness and texture to the dish.
Cut the apples just before serving, or sprinkle them with a little lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
Prepare the ingredients in advance so you can assemble the dish quickly when it’s time to serve.
Adjust the seasoning to balance the flavors to your liking.
