  • Know Apple Varieties – If you’re looking for baking apples Jonagold, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, Mutsu, Winesap, and Pink Lady great apple varieties. For snacking Honeycrisp, Red Delicious, Fuji, and Gala are the perfect apples!

    GAH, too much apple deliciousness for me to handle! BUT, the apple sweet potato fries look very interesting. I’m intrigued. Maybe I’ll try it! 😀 I really want to try making a vegan version of the whole wheat muffins! They look like a serious crowd-pleaser!

      Yes don’t those fries look crazy good?! And you could likely sub the egg with a flaxseed “egg” replacement. Most muffins bake well with that vegan replacement 🙂 Let me know if you try!
