Pumpkins may be the center of attention this time of year—but we’d be remiss if we didn’t give apples a little extra love in autumn.

‍

The humble apple is so much more than meets the eye. With tons of tasty varieties and endless ways to enjoy them, apples are a universal crowd pleaser. Plus, there’s a reason for the old adage about keeping the doctor away; apples contain powerhouse nutrients like fiber and antioxidants, and they can even help lower cholesterol and reduce blood pressure.

‍

In peak apple season, we’ve got no less than six types to choose from. Get to know the apples gracing our virtual shelves this season, and give one (or all!) of them a try:

• Envy. These apples have a beautiful ruby red color and are known for their extra crisp texture. Plus, they take up to 10 hours to turn brown once sliced, making them perfect for school lunches or snacking on-the-go.
  Try them: packed alongside pretzels for a sweet-and-salty snack anytime, anywhere.

• Organic Honeycrisp. It’s all in the name: these beloved apples are sweet-yet-tart and satisfyingly crispy. They’re packed with Vitamin C and make a nutritious snack.
  Try them: dipped in peanut butter for a powerhouse, nutritious pairing.

• Rave. These just might be the juiciest of the bunch. They’re a cross between Honeycrisp and Monark apples, making for perfectly crisp and slightly tart fruit.

Try them: added to a salad for a touch of sweetness and extra crunch.

• Cosmic Crisp. You guessed it—these apples are crisp. With a firm texture, sweet juiciness, and a deep red color, it checks all our boxes for the perfect apple.
  Try them: baked into a cozy and hearty apple crumble.

• Gala. The belle of the ball. This extra-crisp variety is known for its consistent sweetness, making it the perfect all-purpose snacking and baking apple.

Try them: in a pie, a cake, a bread—galas were practically made for baked goods.

• Organic Fuji. As sweet as it gets—and one of the world’s most popular apples. Fujis are crisp, flavorful, and naturally packed with fiber. 

Try them: chilled in the fridge for an extra refreshing snack.
