It is apple season in Minnesota and time for a trip to the University of Minnesota Apple House. There are plenty of places to purchase apples and this one is not cheap. You also don’t pick your own unless you are a kid because it is a popular destination for school field trips. For those you familiar with apple opportunities in other states, the U of MN is home to the Honeycrisp and many of the popular apples on the market in recent years. I just saw that the “father” of the Honeycrisp retired. Good on you apple man!
You can find plenty of interesting things at the Apple House. They sell pumpkins and gourds of every shape and size. The largest goes for $75. Who buys a $75 pumpkin? I would guess businesses who create arrangements to honor the season. A food truck also had apple donuts. I am a big believer of celebrating the season with an apple donut or two. Some go for pumpkin spice lattes. I would take apple donuts every time.
Then there are the apples. These Honeycrisps were not cheap, but you can’t get this jumbo size at the grocery store.
