Can an Apple a Day Keep the Doctor Away?

October is National Apple Month, and although apples are available year round, they are best in the fall when the new crop is harvested. Portable, convenient, tasty and nutritious, apples are a perfect snack for swimmers.
You may be a fan of juicy red delicious apples or tart Granny Smiths, but there are more than 2500 varieties of apples grown in the U.S. My grocery store carries so many interesting varieties (Honeycrisp, Jonagold, Fuji, Braeburn, Cripps’ Pink and Cameo, to name a few) that I like to buy one of each and conduct an in-home taste test.
