My grandparents always told me, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away!” While I don’t eat one every day, I enjoy a delicious apple, and now it is harvesting season. This past weekend, I went to the Iwamisannai area and enjoyed picking Fuji apples and cooking lunch with apples as the main ingredient. We made apple-pumpkin salad, apple-pork gnocchi, and gyoza with a kind of apple pie filling. Everything was delicious, and it was a lot of fun making gnocchi from scratch. I like autumn food and look forward to eating Kiritanpo! With chilly temperatures setting in, I want to pour a glass of wine and curl up next to a warm fire. But the BES Adventurer must continue in search of more exciting and beautiful places in Akita!
The branches hang low
Bearing the weight of red fruit
Time to pick apples!
