Sweet and Delicious Apple Recipes
to Welcome the Season!
Autumn means harvest time and the sweetest treats of all are falling straight from the
trees…well… like apples.
The peak season for apples is from September to November and it is during this time
that this versatile fruit reaches it full flavor and freshness.
Some fun facts about apples:
• A medium apple has approximately 80 calories.
• Over 2500 varieties of apples are grown in this country.
• The legend of Johnny Appleseed is based upon a real man named John Chapman
who planted apple trees throughout the Ohio Valley in 1774.
• Apples are still primarily picked by hand.
• Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Gala and Fuji are the five most
popular apples in the United States.
• Apples float because 25% of an apple’s volume is air.
• Apples are not self-pollinating. They require bees to pollinate the flower that in
turn form the fruit.
• Pilgrims in the Massachusetts Bay colony planted the first apple trees in America.
• Apple bobbing originated as a Celtic New Years tradition to find a future bride or
groom.
• Apples belong to the rose family along with pears, peaches, plums and cherries.
Apples are perfect for baking into delicious treats that will not only brighten up your
complexion, but when served hot, juicy and bubbling in a pastry recipe with a generous
scoop of French vanilla ice cream, will also lighten up even the darkest of moods.
