I love that Honeycrisp apples are just coming into season. There really is nothing better than a big, juicy Honeycrisp apple..they are my favorite and are usually only found in the fall months. Really, any large apple will work perfectly in this recipe. So just use your favorite variety. If your apples are small, slice up two and follow the rest of the instructions.
