In addition to the changing leaves in autumn, many people associate fresh apples from the orchard with this time of year.  Apple lovers are invited to Greenwood Public Library on Tuesday, September 14 at 6pm to learn a little about this beloved fruit.  Obtain knowledge about picking out the right kind of apple for your current culinary adventure, learn tips on storing and using fresh apples, and leave with recipes featuring this great fruit.  

To hold you over until the program try out this simple apple dip recipe:

Stir in Heath bits
Cut Gala apples (or whichever kind you prefer) and dip them in pineapple juice so they don’t discolor right away.
