Tips

Looking for a more traditional flavor? Substitute 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg for the Chinese five-spice powder.
Look to use the best local variety of baking apples, available from your CSA, in farmers' markets or grocery stores for this recipe. If that's not possible, give these nationally available varieties a try: Cortland, Braeburn, Jazz, Rome Beauty or Winesap.
