For an extra layer of flavor, try using a mix of apple varieties, such as Honeycrisp and Granny Smith. Don't overcrowd the pan! If necessary, use two roasting pans to ensure even cooking and beautiful browning. A splash of dry white wine added to the roasting pan before cooking will create a delicious pan sauce. Serve with couscous, quinoa, or roasted potatoes to soak up the flavorful juices.
