AUTUMN APPLE HARVEST
In cool-climate areas, apple harvest generally takes place in September and October. Fresh-picked apples taste amazing right off the tree, and they’re also tasty when incorporated into some of our favorite foods. Apples shine not only in desserts, but also in main dishes, side dishes, salads, and more.
Following are some delicious recipes from the Capper’s Farmer archives.
