When you feel that crisp, cool change in the weather and the whisper of fall is in the leaves. You know it is time for apples! We couldn’t think of a better to way to celebrate this delicious fruit then declaring the last week of September apple week. Our favorite way to relish in all things “apple” is to visit our local apple orchard. We visit Breeden’s Orchard and Country Store in Mt. Juliet, TN.

All through the month of September they allow families **Yep, that means kiddos too!** to saddle up a wagon and pick a bushel of this favorite American fruit!

Apples provide excellent nutritional benefits. We’ve all heard “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” During recent years this old english saying has proved more true than not. Studies have shown apples can aid in natural prevention of osteoporosis, help prevent asmtha flair ups, assist in the natural treatment of Alzheimer’s, help lower cholesterol, fight multiple types of cancer and much more. True, they are healthy and beautiful. Who doesn’t appreciate a nice apple center piece.
But here in the soup bowl, we just like to eat them.
Liam, taking a bite!
I hope y’all enjoy our upcoming apple week. Feel free to comment and leave us many new, wonderfully applicious ideas for next year. We love to learn from you!
