Whether you’re picking them from an orchard or the grocery store down the street, one thing’s for sure: apples are here, and there appears to be a larger (and more delicious) variety than ever before. From Granny Smith to Pink Lady to Ruby Frost, each type offers its own unique charms. And while they’re wonderful eaten raw, they’re extraordinary baked into a tasty fall treat.
