Why You’ll Love Apples
From tart, bright green Granny Smiths to sweet, stunning Galas mottled with red, apples are crisp, juicy and bursting with fall flavor. Rich in antioxidants and full of fiber, they’re healthy, too! To learn about a few of our favorite varieties, read All About Apples: Types & Tastes.

Where to Find Apples
Look for apples at your local farmer’s market or grocery store. Or plan the perfect autumn drive to a nearby orchard and pick them yourself! Before you hit the road, prepare some healthy, budget-friendly travel food to enjoy en route.

How & Where to Store Apples
Keep apples in an open bag in the coldest part of your fridge, where they’ll stay fresh for up to 3 weeks. Check them periodically and throw away any with bruises or soft spots. Before you enjoy one, give it a gentle flick with your finger—a dull thud indicates a perfectly ripe fruit.

How to Pair Apples
Crisp or tart, apples pair perfectly with soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert, and coarsely chopped fruit adds bright flavor to salads. But to put fall’s favorite fruit front and center, try our wholesome homemade applesauce and crisp cinnamon-sugar apple chips.

How to Prep & Recipe Idea
Rinse apples before use. If coated in wax, be sure to peel first. For a fresh twist on apple pie, serve it in pint-sized jars. Get the recipe>>
