Apple Recipes Tip: For the
best apple pie recipes ever always use brown sugar. If you need to quickly
soften hard brown sugar, add a slice of apple to the sugar and microwave for
about 15 seconds. To keep brown sugar from hardening, keep an apple slice in
the bag (if your brown sugar is already hard and you don't own a microwave,
just use your cheese grater to grate the amount of brown sugar needed for the
recipe.
