Fall brings an exciting variety of apples to North Tisbury Farm: tart apples, sweet apples, crunchy apples, soft-flesh apples, red-, yellow-, or green apples and everything in between. Enjoy them on their own as a delicious, healthy snack or use as an ingredient and make apple sauce, apple butter or apple pie. And how about going savory, incorporate apples into dinner or pair with the perfect cheese?
