Fall is coming, and you know what that means. It's time to pick some apples.

I looked it up so you don't have to.

I grew up in Lewiston-Auburn and I loved this time of year! One of my favorite reasons were the family trips to go apple picking. We actually bought the apples at the store at the orchards, but enjoyed the free samples of apple cider, donuts, etc.

The apples are ready for picking and let the cider flow! One of my favorite childhood memories is the whole family getting together in the station wagon and going to our local apple orchard. We never picked apples, put we sure did down the cider and the apple pie! Many orchards having apple picking, hay rides and baked goods.Here's a guide of apple orchards throughout Central Maine.

With all of the apples we picked on Sunday at the Apple Farm in Fairfield, I need to get some good use out of them! I have always been envious of people who make the apple pies at the fairs that win the blue ribbons. I don't believe I'll ever be creative enough to make such a beautiful looking pie but at least mine tastes good!
