  • Get more fiber and color when you don’t peel the apples, and think of the time you’ll save!
  • Empire, Regent and Spartan apples are good choices for baked pies and desserts.
  • No buttermilk on hand? Place 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar into measuring cup; add milk to equal 1/2 cup. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes before using. Save remaining "buttermilk" for another use.
