Autumn in the Orchard
by Rachel Paxton
Apples, apples, apples! So many to choose from and so little time. So which is your favorite? Red Delicious are one of the most popular eating apples, and Golden Delicious run a close second. They're both crispy and sweet, perfect for kids' lunches or an after-school snack.
Other apples are more tart and better for cooking and baking. Some of our family's favorites are McIntosh, Gala, Fuji, Braeburn, Jonathon, and Granny Smith. All make great pies, breads, muffins, and applesauce.
So where should you store your apples? In a cool dark place. A good place is in the refrigerator in a well covered container (to keep them from drying out). Make sure to handle your apples gently to avoid bruising.
Roadside apple stands are a sure sign of autumn. Apple cider, apple pie, apple crisp, I just can't get enough. Enjoy them while they're in season for the best selection and prices, and try a couple of these recipes to enjoy them to their fullest.
