Author Robyn Webb: "This dessert is perfect for the fall. I love apple desserts because they are a great way to get to know seasonal apple varieties. I really enjoy going to farmers’ markets and asking vendors which apples they like to use in different desserts.

Roasted peppers jazz up pasta, eggs, soups, stews, homemade pizza, and many more everyday foods."
