Have you heard? Jonathan apples are ripe and ready for pickin'. This is one of my favorite baking apples and with the cooler temperatures it seems only right to dive in to some of my all time favorite apple recipes. I particularly like this one because it is delicious with several apple varieties including: Jonathan, Jonagold and Golden Delicious. The news gets better - starting Saturday Jonagold apples will be available for picking at our Belleville Farm - never have we opened Jonagold to the public for pick-your-own (at least not that I can remember!) I hope you enjoy the first taste of fall, too!
