One of autumn's most cherished delights is heading out on a sunny day to visit an apple orchard where picking apples and making memories is a time-honored tradition.
At a pick-your-own orchard, pluck your favorite apples right off the tree, excited with the prospect of what's ahead when you get your bounty home: lots of apple sauce, delicious apple pies, or plenty of apples just bursting with flavor to crunch into.
Almost as popular as apples fresh off the tree are specialty items created from fall's favorite fruit: apple cider donuts, apple cider and hard cider. Breweries have also been inspired to create autumn-forward ales and lagers.
