No! I will have to try that. I know another good apple substitute too. Do you know the mariñon corizon? They are red with some white, shaped like a cashew apple but the seed Is inside. The trees are fairly tall and straight. If you see the ground underneath blanketed in feathery purple flower petals, that's one of them in bloom. Raw the fruit is white and bland, but cooked it's very much like apple.
