Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at any major Canadian grocery store. For the best results, use a firm apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a nice contrast. If you prefer, unsalted butter can be used as a substitute for margarine, though margarine is the traditional choice for this specific texture.
