(This venue is closed.) Yes, this is the height of apple season in New York. You might go so far as to say that this is the height of baked apple season, too. Even so, you'd be hard-pressed to find a granny smith anywhere else that sports a filling of cinnamon, raisins, maple syrup, and ground tigernuts ($4). The delicate almondlike flavor of tigernuts — which are not nuts at all but rather very small tubers — is more apparent when eaten alone, or when quaffed in one of Organic Gemini's blended horchatas.
