The orchards are alive with the taste of sweetness! Yes, we're talking about apple season. When the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to change, our minds instantly go to what apple recipes we can add to our baking list. But apples aren't the only fall fruits this time of year. No, there are tons of other seasonal delights worth picking, too. In fact, you can find many of these tasty fruits at farmers' markets and grocery stores as early as September, and they'll stick around until you're ready to make your Thanksgiving dinner menu in November. After that, you might want to check out our list of winter fruits for the chillier season.
But before we get ahead of ourselves, let's take a look at the best fall fruits. While some of these fruits make tasty snacks on their own (who can argue with a bowl of fresh grapes?), others would make for delicious baked fall desserts (like Ree Drummond's apple-cranberry galette). And there are some fall fruits on this list that might just surprise you-do you know what a persimmon is?! Read on for our list of the best fall fruits, including suggestions for using them. Now who's up for a pitcher of fall sangria?
It's more than just apples!
Nothing beats the taste of a juicy plum! You'll start to see plums pop up in late summer but their season lasts through October. Try plums in fruity cobbler recipes or elegant tarts.
