I never would have thought of this combination on my own, but it really works! I went with the smaller amount of ginger both because I didn't want the flavour to be overpowering and because I wanted to try to keep the cost down. Surprisingly, I think I like this even better than the classic apple-cinnamon-raisin combo!
