The Better Than Average Apple Cookbook is a compilation of apple recipes collected during the years the Hansberger family owned an apple orchard in Oak Glen, California.

The author, who is also a professional artist, has freshened up this 2nd edition printing with full-color illustrations created by her.

Author Biography
