Vermont Apples…. & Cider, Too!

There are many good reasons to visit a Vermont apple orchard or farm stand in the fall. The #1 reason: the orchard is the best place to get a crisp, fresh McIntosh, Cortland, Macoun, Empire, Red Delicious or any of the dozens of other varieties grown in Vermont. Almost 70 percent of the apples grown in Vermont are “Macs”, and for good reason: the flavor of the McIntosh is outstanding--- for eating out of hand, for pressing into fresh (or hard) cider, for apple sauce, and—yes--- for pies. A just-picked McIntosh is tart, juicy and full of flavor that you might not have experienced in the “hardware” apples found in many supermarkets 365 days of the year.
