I most commonly associate apples with fall of course, but did you know many varieties (in Minnesota, at least) ripen in August? We took full advantage of some of the earlier varieties and went to the
Minnesota Harvest Apple Orchard over Labor Day weekend and stocked up.
They did say they are about 1-2 weeks behind season-wise but they had a fabulous selection already available. We picked up 2 bags of State Fair apples (a nice sweet, crisp eating apple), 2 bags of Paula Reds (great for caramel apples) and a bag of crab apples for making applesauce. I also got 1 big bag of already picked Viking apples to make a couple of pies. I'm drooling already.
