Riddle Me This
Who are Scarlet O'Haralson, Milo Gibson and the Pink Lady? No, they're not cast members in some B-movie.
Here's a hint: They're all related to Granny Smith.
They're apples-just three of 664 varieties listed on the website allaboutapples.com
Sometimes it seems as though the farmer's market or grocery store has all 664. It's hard to pick just one. So in the spirit of inclusiveness, here's an apple crisp that combines three varieties of fall's perfect fruit.
Holy Trinity Apple Crisp

Try combining Northern Spy, Golden Grimes and Ida Red in this crisp. Baked together they make a tastebud-bursting combination. If you can't find them, try Granny Smith, Rome Beauty and Gala.
