Astonishing apples

the long version

"The ubiquitous apple: a mainstay of fruit bowls and bag lunches, and in Minnesota, a point of pride. ... Snappy and sweet eaten out of hand, tender and flavorful when roasted or baked, apples bring plenty to the table. There's no better guide to this apple abundance than Joan Donatelle, whose fondness for the fruit goes beyond the standard slices-and-Brie or apple crisp. ... With this cookbook in your arsenal, eating 'an apple a day' has never been easier--or more delicious."--Page [4] cover.
