Octobers’ warm sunny days and cool nights means the later season apples are at their peak of flavor. Mutsu, Northern Spy, Ida Reds, Golden Delicious and Red Delicious in particular. There still plenty of Empire, Jonagold, Jonathon and some Honey Crisp for u-pick.
Mondays are usually apple picking days for me but my granddaughter was over yesterday and wanted to make pie. Obviously I can’t say no to her so… we picked some Northern Spy apples and she made her first pies. She had to decipher my grandmas cursive handwriting too. The pies turned out fantastic.
Watch for my apple sauce lesson coming soon.
Plenty of delicious apples for the picking!
