I’m always a little sad when the long days of summer shorten and the long dark nights of winter lie ahead, but I can’t help but be happy for all the goodies fall brings! Crisp air, cozy clothes, and comforting food. I’m not quite ready for pumpkin-flavored everything, but I am ready for apple season!
There’s nothing better than spending the day picking apples at an orchard… except maybe eating a delicious dessert made from them 😉
Apples aren’t only full of flavor, they are full of nutrients. Check out some of their stats below, as well as some other fun facts!

September 30, 2015 at 11:38 amI’m up in the mountains of NC this fall season, and the apple trees on the side of the road are incredible! Can’t wait to try out some of these recipes!

September 30, 2015 at 11:40 amI love reading your blog and watching your family’s adventures, however, the ads on your page have made it increasingly difficult for me to do so. Almost every post, regardless of computer or browser, your page crashes for me. As an avid fan, I’ll keep trying, but maybe something to look into.
Alyssa says
September 30, 2015 at 3:07 pmDitto — it stood out to me on this post in particular, because the ads actually interfere with sections of your infographics. It’s a shame to cover up something you’ve clearly put valuable time into! Just something to think about. It makes it very challenging to enjoy your content these days. 🙁

September 30, 2015 at 1:11 pmThese recipes are just what I needed! We are going apple picking this weekend but I couldn’t think of anything to make except apple pie or applesauce. Thanks for all the great ideas!
Dani @ Dani California Cooks says
September 30, 2015 at 1:53 pmI eat apples almost every day, especially in the fall! I love going to the farmer’s markets and trying out new varieties. Thanks for sharing the health benefits and give me more reasons to feel good about my snack later!
Karen says
September 30, 2015 at 3:00 pmWOW! Thanks for all the recipes! I just love apples and anything to do with apples. I just need to find a good apple sangria recipe!
One word sums it all up for me: HONEYCRISP!

September 30, 2015 at 4:03 pmAll the recipes make me so hungry! APPLE FRIES!!!
KB says
September 30, 2015 at 11:53 pmApple fries?!
Grace says
September 30, 2015 at 10:30 pmA lot of these seem super sweet/sugary! Do you have any advice on how to keep your sugar intake in check? What do you do when you know you’ve had enough treats but just can’t resist the cravings?
Melissa | HerGreenLife says
October 1, 2015 at 7:22 pmLove all of the apple inspiration here! (I’ll admit, the first link I clicked was for apple sangria 🙂 ) We just bought a bushel of local, organic apples. Apples are on the EWG’s “Dirty Dozen” list, and since the peel/skin has so much good stuff (if not chemical-laden), they’re a good one to buy organic (or no-spray).
