Fall Apples

 Fall in Washington State means Apples, tons of them! It can be a little overwhelming when you're in the stores this time of year with so many different varieties of apples. I have my favorites Honey Crisp, Pink Lady and Granny Smith, but I have a new favorite called Sunrise Apple. It's a smaller apple that's crisp, tart and juicy. We found it at fruit stand in Pentiction, British Columbia. 

I missed Apple Fest last month in our area,  but next year I am going. They had over 220 varieties of apples to taste.  
They say that most Americans try about six types of apples in their lifetime. At the turn of the century, their was over 2,000 varieties of apples.
