When I first saw this menu item I had to ask the waiter to speak with the chef. I was genuinely curious as the legacy behind the name as it was the most foreign thing I had ever heard. It turned out to be quite the lengthy history lesson. I won’t repeat what I learned here. Let’s get to some good eating!

TIPS

Substitute a fresh pear for the apple.
Special Extra

How to Toast Nuts
Toasting nuts adds crunch and intensifies their flavor.
To toast nuts in the oven, spread nuts in single layer in shallow baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 min. or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
To toast nuts on the stovetop, place nuts in ungreased skillet. Cook on medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently.
To toast nuts in the microwave, place up to 1 cup of nuts in a microwaveable shallow dish. Microwave on HIGH until fragrant and crisp, stirring every 30 sec.
