Fujis and Braeburns and Romes, oh my! The mighty apple (and its skin) is loaded with antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber. In season from late August through November, you’ll find a wide variety of apples to taste test at your farmers market this fall. When baking with apples, look for tart, crisp apples and don’t worry about the little imperfections. Keep apples cold in the fridge to last longer.
Kids love this apple muffin full of healthy goodness. It can be a quick grab-and-go breakfast, or you can make mini muffins for a fun addition to your child’s lunch box.
