What is the "season" for apples?

I love the fact that anymore you can get fruit in and out of season. But a lot of times the fruit out of season just doesn't seem to be a very good quality. I have had a bad time with apples, I LOVE apples, but they seem to be squishy and soft already in the store! In the back of my head I think fallish is their in season, but I check everytime I go to the store and for the past year or so I haven't seen a significant change in the quality of the fruit.

Hmm. that's strange. Yes, fall is their season. Apples are great. If you ever get a chance to eat apples from North Carolina, they are the best to me!! My aunt lives there and every time they used to come home to visit, they would bring some apples. They are kind of tart and delicious!!

oooo, that sounds really good. My grandmother lived there too, can't remember if I ever ate apples there the few times I visited her.

Here in Canada we get all kinds of apples (red delicious, granny smith, macintosh, and ones they called orchard apples). They all rock and they all make awesome apple crisp and apple cinnamon muffins!

I just bought a bag and they were awful. Threw most of them away. I was making fruit salad and my daughter prefers the red apples in it so that was what I bought. Normally I buy Granny Smith. They are a crisp tart apple and I think they hold up better. They are a great cooking apple, probley the best one for cooking, but I like to just eat them.

Yes, you are right the season for apples is Autumn! Apples grow everywhere here in Canada so they are always nice and fresh in the fall! Also in the fall you can get them for a steal too! Last September/Octoberish they had a big huge bin of apples and they were 25 cents a pound so I seriously loaded up! I made apple crisp (my family's favorite) and I made some apple cinnamon muffins with them! Also we had some in the fridge as our 3 year old LOVES apples as a snack!
