It's cold out there! Warm up with an apple-enhanced take on the classic scalloped potato dish. And yes, apples are still in season; varieties such as Gold Rush, Albemarle Pippin, Pink Lady, and Stayman store well into the winter months as long as they are protected from temperatures below about 27 degrees Fahrenheit. Apples can add another layer of flavor to many winter dishes, especially roasts, casseroles, and soups.Desserts
