One of the standout recipes in the book is the Cinnamon Apple Crisp with Cider Whipped Cream. This recipe takes the classic apple crisp to another level by adding freshly grated cinnamon and using a mixture of oats and toasted almonds for the topping. But the real showstopper is the homemade whipped cream made with cider reduction, which adds a tangy and slightly boozy twist to the dish. Another delicious recipe is the Blueberry Apple Crumble with Ginger Streusel. This recipe showcases the versatility of apples by pairing them with blueberries and fresh ginger. The crumble topping is made with candied ginger and oats, which adds a chewy texture and a little bit of sass to the dish.
