picking tips
Call first: Certain apple types may not be available due
to demand and orchard hours can change without notice. Make sure to call ahead
before making the trek out of town – the last thing anyone needs is a half hour
drive for nothing.
What to bring: Some farms provide containers for carrying
the fruit home, but it’s not a bad idea to bring them yourself. Comfortable
shoes and clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty are a must, and keep the
weather in mind: pack a sweater for cooler days, and bring sunscreen.
Buying & storing: Choose firm apples that do not have any wrinkles or bruises. Apples can keep for up to a year when stored properly. Store small amounts in the refrigerator where they will keep for up to a month, while larger amounts should be stored in a cellar, fridge or insulated garage, making sure the temperature stays consistent at just above 0 C. Don’t let apples sit on top of one another or they’ll bruise. Remove any apples that have over ripened or have soft spots as they’ll begin to turn the other apples (the saying “one rotten apple spoils the bunch” didn’t come from nowhere!)

Freezing apples: Coat 1 L (4 cups) of peeled, sliced apples with 1 ml (1/4
tsp) ascorbic acid powder and 25 ml (1/4 cup) cold water. Coat fruit on all
sides, then toss with 25 ml (1/4 cup) granulated sugar. Pack, label and freeze
for up to one year. Before using, frozen apple slices should be thawed for
approximately one hour.
Apple types: Some of the most popular types of apples are
McIntosh, Honey Crisp, Red Delicious, Empire, Idared, Crispin (or Mutsu),
Golden Delicious, Spartan, Cortland and Northern Spy. Northern Spy is the most
common type of apple used in baking. Check with the orchards to see what
varieties they have available.
