Fall is great for Red Sox fans, Patriots Fans possibly even Celtic fans this year...but it's also fabulous for apples. Tarte Tatin? Baked apples? Apple crisp? The trouble is that they're so tasty, it's hard to keep them around long enough to bake them.
The English used to say "apple before bed, doctor begs his bread" sound familiar? An apple a day...well it turns out to be true. With no fat, no cholesterol and only 80 calories per apple they deliver vitamins A, C and great fiber. The satisfaction of biting into a crisp, slightly tart fall apple is nearly impossible to beat.
Don't forget your melon baller is an easy way to remove the core. I'm posting pics of some old and new varieties to see if there are any apple afficianados out there....
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens...you can have 'em. I'll take an Opalescent heirloom apple.
