About Product
October and autumn are a magical time of year. In many places, it is a time for festivals and the beautiful changing of the leaves.
The most beloved symbol of autumn is the wide variety of apples grown and harvested to enjoy all their unique flavors and textures in their delicious natural state. But, when we think of apples, we are most reminded of cider, mom’s apple pie, and various ways to use this fantastic fruit with its many flavor profiles to create new versions of time-honored classics. There are 7500 apple varieties grown worldwide, each providing a unique texture and flavor profile from super sweet to tart and tangy.
