It's fall apple season!!!!

[Markbnj]

I feel sorry for you guys who don't live in an orchard state. You'll never taste how amazing fall is. Picked up a dozen each of McIntosh and Macoun yesterday. Heading to a place this afternoon that has some good fujis and honeycrisp.

Fall is my favorite time of the year. The winter cools down and the tourist are gone. My city becomes a ghost town.

Finishing a field crate of Royal Cortland picked ripe. Sweet with a after taste of cinnamon. Heading to the Orchard to feed a weak bee hive and see what they are picking today.

BRING ON THE HONEYCRISPS!!!

I just went a picked some Cortlands from my grandmas orchard this weekend. They are not quite ripe yet but they are close enough and if i did not get them not the company that takes care of the orchard would have picked them all before i could get there to get them. Cant wait to make some apple sauce and crisps and apple butter. Fall is the BEST time of year.

 

[IronWing]

I do miss the black twigs.

We have great cider around too, but I'll tell you, some of the apples this year are so juicy it's basically like cider in every bite. We had warm days, lots of sun, and cool nights all summer and I think the apple trees were pretty damn happy. So far the honeycrisps are hands down the best, but the fujis I had were close. Galas not so much. Not bad, but the competition is stiff this year.

Wrong Orchard. Green is green not red.

Bragging about nature and yet rooting for artificial fruits, oh! the irony..

 

[smackababy]

Yes! Thankfully, I was able to get the iPhone 6 on release day and didn't have to wait! Apple's release season is the best! Can't wait for the MBP refresh in October!

 

[T9D]

My Fuji apples are like 2 inches on my tree. I don't even want to try to eat those.

Yes, because other than designer apples everything else I eat is unadulterated and just as jesus first planted it six thousand years ago.

In other words... what?

 

[Ryland]

Picked 40lbs of apples in less than 15 minutes a few weeks ago. Turned those into applesauce, various types of jam, apple butter, etc.

Any tourist willing to settle for New Jersey can't have too much class. It's no wonder you're happy they're gone.

mmmm .. I had wanted to go last week to pick some, but Im on call and we had oracle upgrades being installed on prod boxes on Sunday .. so .. being on prod support team, I was pretty much working much of Sat and all of Sun. This coming weekend I am on call still (until the 6th when I handover to next person on team). so maybe next week during the week I will get a chance to hit an orchard for a hour with the woman and take some apples off of trees.....

I went to apple orchard twice. I don't get the appeal. You do the physical labor of picking the apples and pay more for the privilege. Apples are cheaper at the stores than at the orchards. At least around here.

Paging DrPizza.

I'm going up to cidery this weekend. They have a new hopped one that sounds bizarre but I have to try it. Get some fresh apples from their orchard while I'm at it. Regular (non-alcoholic) cider is great too. Especially hot.

 

[smackababy]

Cider reminds me of bad soda. It is far too sweet.

We took the kids picking when they were young, and I have fond memories of going a few times when I was a kid. It's fun to pick the apples and eat them, and no other apple is ever going to taste quite that awesome. But these days we get the best of both worlds at the local orchards, all of which have retail sales as well as picking.

Some of the chain grocers around here stock the good local fall apples, but they're usually not handled as lovingly. Out of season the apples you get at the chain stores are just imported crap. Thick-skinned red delicious and grannies. The difference between those and locally grown heirloom varieties is night and day.

Just tried an Envy for the first time. Holy fuckballs was it delicious.
