6 At the Farmers Market: Apples Source: Heather Norman-Burgdolf, assistant extension professor As summer comes to a close and September approaches, the Powell County Farmers Market sees a shift in fresh produce. Not only does fall bring corn mazes, squash and pumpkins, it is also a perfect time to visit the market to pick the freshest apples. A medium size apple about 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter contains approximately 75 calories and provides bulk in the diet, helping the body digest food. Apples are low in sodium and high in potassium, making them a great natural snack. When choosing an apple, look for firm, crisp, well-colored fruit. Avoid those with shriveled skins, worm holes and decayed spots. Use those with bruises or skin breaks as soon as possible. Store slightly under-ripe apples in a cool place. Once ripe, apples will keep a week or longer stored in the refrigerator vegetable drawer or in a plastic bag. Apple Cranberry Waldorf Salad Ingredients: 1 cup chopped Granny Smith apple 1 cup chopped Red Delicious apple 1 cup diced celery 1 cup halved seedless green grapes As you prepare apples, remember raw ones will darken when the cut surface is exposed to air. Protect cut or peeled apples from darkening by mixing with ascorbic acid, such as lemon or orange juice. Working only with five apples at a time, mix one teaspoon of ascorbic acid with three tablespoons of water. Toss gently with the apples. You can find more than 2,500 varieties of apples in the United States. The most popular varieties available in Kentucky are: Lodi, Red Delicious, Rome, Winesap, Gala, Jonathan, Cortland and Golden Delicious. For more information, please contact Powell County Extension office. Of course, you can enjoy apples right after picking or purchasing, but they can also be part of a delicious end-of-summer recipe. The Plate It Up Kentucky Proud recipe below is an example of a simple recipe that requires very little preparation. It will be a favorite all season long.
