It’s apple picking season. Due to Hurricane Dorian, my trip to see Eddie in Pennsylvania got extended and we took a trip to the Solebury Orchards in New Hope, the most gorgeous place to visit not only in the fall, but at all times of the year. I haven’t been apple picking in years but since going recently, I’d like to make it a point to add it to my fall bucket list every year.
Solebury Orchards
The orchards are open year round and grows apples, peaches, blueberries, and many other fruits. You can purchase products at the market on the farm and during apple and blueberry season, you can pick your own fruit. The property is absolutely gorgeous and you definitely don’t want to miss it. A wagon will take you up to the top of the property and you can walk through magnificent orchards, full of fruit.
Homemade Apple Sauce
When life gives you apples, make apple sauce. There are also so many delicious apple recipes you can find on Pinterest (follow my FALL board here). We decided to make apple sauce and oh my goodness – it was so good. The recipe we followed was found on Pinterest and it did not disappoint. The smell in the kitchen was almost as good as the taste of it. We added cinnamon and ended up putting it on our pork chops for dinner that night – yum!
What would you make with your picked apples?
I would use the picked apples for apple pie! My auntie makes a bomb apple pie! Every year during Thanksgiving she always makes us some for the family. So good!
They really do make for great baking!
I love picking apples and wanted to do it this year but the orchard was so far away…What an amazing experience this must have been right?
Yes, so much fun! I loved every minute of it.
This must have been such an amazing experience. Thanks for sharing
I have never in my life had a picked apple!! How have I missed out on such a thing????? Now off to hunt for someone locally who offers picked apples…. see you again soon!
My children are a huge fan of eating apples so I am not sure I would have any left to make things with! LOL This looks like a fun date!
So going to hit up a pumpkin patch and hay ride and all that jazz this season – especially because we have a 9 month old, and I feel like the stimulation would be amazing for him!
Going to the apple orchard is a great Fall date idea. I’ll have to do this with my boyfriend this Fall too. We went last year and it was a lot of fun.
It’s been a beautiful and refreshing date! We would go and pick apples for eating and baking. When we get them directly from the orchard, there’s no taste like that!
You sure had fun at this. Unfortunately for me. These apples don’t grow over this side of the world but i still love this poat and its essence. Nice put there. You both look amazing up there.
OMG this looks so fun and your pictures look incredible. I love apples raw, baked, on a pie, on salads. The choices are endless. I wish we had an orchard near us.
I love picking apples and it was my second date with my hubby! My girls love it because it is such an amazing experience.
This is toooo cute & was on my Fall Bucketlist!
What a cute date idea! I am happy that you enjoy the apple picking and making your own apple sauce!
Now this reminds me it’s apple picking season again! My husband and kids love to go apple picking! Looks like you had a nice date with your love at the orchards!
Apple picking is a great idea and it looks fun too. The apple jam looks delicious x
