Final Days of Fall

With the time change and the days getting shorter it is important to soak in the last moments of sunshine. There are few moments more enjoyable than looking at the changing of the leaves. Before the holiday season goes into full swing take a break, grab a drink, and make a fall snack…apples are in season right now and pair nicely with cheese. Relax!

                                      

Abandoned apple orchards and wild apple trees can be fun to find and pick heirloom apple varieties. They are much smaller than what you find in the grocery store and are often misshapen and oddly colored. Don't let that fool you though. These apples have some of the sweetest flavors and are perfectly crisp.  

                                      

These heirloom apples, that would have just gone to waste, paired perfectly with Spoon Tongue beer from a local brewery and truffle and salt cheese from Ballard Family Dairy.
