Want to know how to pick the best pie apples? 🍎🍏

There’s nothing quite like a homemade apple pie in the Fall. But with so many delicious apple varieties to choose from, which ones are best to use? Adrian, our Farm Market Manager, has a few tips for selecting the perfect pie apples:
🥧 Look for a firm, crisp texture — You'll want apples that hold their shape while baking.
🍎 Find the right balance of sweet and tart — A little acidity adds brightness and keeps your pie from tasting one-note.
😋 Choose an apple you love to eat — If you enjoy it fresh, chances are you'll love it baked into a pie.
🍏 Mix it up! — Combining different varieties can add layers of flavor and texture to your pie.

Here are just a few of Adrian's favorites:
🍎Baldwin (sweet/tart) - open for PYO
🍎Cortland (sweet/tart) - open for PYO
🍏Golden Russet (sweet/tart) - open for PYO
🍎Honeycrisp (sweet) - open for PYO
🍎Keepsake (sweet/tart) - open for PYO
🍎Nova Spy (tart) - open for PYO
🍎McIntosh (tart) - open for PYO
🍏Rambour Franc (sweet/tart) - open for PYO
🍏Granny Smith (tart) - coming to PYO soon
🍎Pink Lady (sweet/tart) - coming to PYO soon

Ready to bake? Stop by the orchard to pick some fresh, or grab a bag of pre-picked apples in the Farm Market. We can also ship our hand-selected Baker's Box direct-to-you! Order @ https://champlainorchards.com/collections/fruit-and-provisions/products/bakers-box-1
