As we move further into the fall season, one like any other we have experienced, apples reach their prime for picking. Apples in autumn just make sense – the earthy red, orange, yellow, green, gold and brown colors of all their different varieties reflected in the changing leaves paired with quintessential fall flavors. Apples can help us feel at home – asking us to cozy up with a warm apple pie slice or hot mulled cider, or just a simple quick snack without the need for power or water to enjoy them. Apples can remind us of our resilience as they stand sturdy and stay hardy through intense weather, grow deep roots and diversity for generations, and yet still keep their sweetness about them through it all.
