After this spring's severe frost caused many of New Jersey's farms to lose a significant portion of their fruit and vegetable crops, there are fewer places offering pick-your-own apples this year - one of my favorite fall activities. If I can't pick my own apples at the orchard, hopefully I'll still be able to find plenty at our local farm stores. There's nothing better than biting into a crisp, juicy apple fresh from the farm.
Of course, this time of year, along with snacking on apples, I also want to make everything apple. September is for all the apple things and October is for all the pumpkin things! I start to get the itch to do some fall baking - sweet bread loaves, pies, bars, and more. And I love finding ways to work apples into savory fall dishes, too.
