It is apple season in Minnesota and time for a trip to the University of Minnesota Apple House<\/a>. 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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n

Then there are the apples. These Honeycrisps were not cheap, but you can’t get this jumbo size at the grocery store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
