Best to Buy

Apple season is typically autumn through spring, although most varieties are generally available year-round.

Prep & Store

Wash the apple to remove any wax and residue from the peel. Cut just before eating to reduce oxidation and browning. Avoid browning altogether by dipping into a mix of fresh lemon juice and water.

Tasty Tip

Baked apples make a sweet side dish when pork takes center plate.

Quick & Easy Recipe

Apple pure and applesauce are delicious ways to serve this favorite. Cut apples into cubes and simmer with a little water and cinnamon. Spice it up with raisins, rhubarb, or pears.
