Episode 60: Apples

On this week's episode, we are celebrating the arrival of autumn (and mourning the passing of summer) by talking about apples. We cover the long history of apples, then we talk about what makes an apple crispy, and what different types of apples there are and which ones are good for eating and which ones are good for dessert! Plus, we help our Food Fight listener send off her daughter to college with some good recipes that are healthy and quick and inexpensive.

Apples, apples!
