Fall is a beautiful time of year, and what could be better than taking in the crisp weather and picking even crisper, fresh apples? That’s right, the height of apple season is approaching, and there is no shortage of apples to pick in YDH. Apple picking is a fun fall activity that makes for a great family outing. Bring a sweater and wear some comfortable boots that you don’t mind getting a little dirty. There will be an abundance of scenic photo opportunities, so don’t forget your camera!
Take a wagon ride and explore our beautiful region with a warm cup of fresh apple cider in hand. You won’t regret it!
Apples are the nutritious go-to snack, whether for lunches or when you’re on-the-go….but let’s be honest, apples taste even better when turned into a warm homemade apple pie, apple crisp, or apple cider – yum!
Pro tip: Granny Smith is one of the most popular baking apples. It’s a tart and tangy apple with a firm flesh. If you like a splash of sweetness, pair it with some slices of Honeycrisp in your recipe.
