Cooking Tip

Mushrooms
Use your favorite cap mushroom. I like the heartiness of portobellos mixed with the apple. This is a very filling appetizer.

Cooking Tip

Apple
Apples are available in both tart and sweet varieties. Experiment with different apples until you find the type that works best for you.
