Ah, fall is here again! And with it, comes apples. Lots and lots of apples! I've blogged about my love of apples and fall in general
previously, but it bears repeating. Fall rocks. Crisp days, and Honeycrisp apples. The photo below says it all. I bought 1/2 peck of
Honeycrisp and 1/2 peck of
Macoun apples at an orchard yesterday, a couple
Firesides at the Midtown Global Market today, and was treated to a bag of
Regents in my CSA (farmshare). Good thing I like apples, because I've got some work to do to polish those off!
An interesting thing I just learned, the Honeycrisp is a cross between a Honeygold (which I knew) and a Macoun (which I didn't know)! I had never even heard of a Macoun until yesterday. Turns out I owe a lot to that Macoun apple. And as far as I can tell, 3 of the 4 apple varieties I bought were all developed here at the U of M! Can't get much more local than that!
The other thing you can tell from this photo is that I own too many knives. All the better for cutting up apples for some delicious apple crisp!
