Squeaking in under the deadline which–I suppose–will occur in two days, and after which–I suppose–it won’t be National Apple Month anymore.
My favorite apple at the moment (things can change) is the Crimson Crisp. It’s absolutely delicious for eating, and it apparently grows well here in Southwestern Pennsylvania, where it’s a star at my local apple orchard.
I have other favorite apples when it comes to pies (Granny Smith) and sauce (Honeycrisp). In both cases, they’re available locally.
Please. Support local agriculture, and local businesses, whenever, and wherever you can. It’s not hard, and the reward is totally worth it.
Well said. A real pleasure this time of year is eating them freshly picked from the tree.
I planted two trees a couple of years ago, and this year they produced six apples! They are “Northern Spy,” a nid-19th century variety from New York, and very good eating.
