Autumn brings a wonderful harvest of crisp apples, squash, root vegetables and leafy greens. Eating with the season is a simple way to enjoy fresh flavor and plenty of nutrients.
Why apples deserve a place on your plate
- Fiber that supports digestion and helps you feel full.
- Natural sweetness that can replace sugary snacks.
- Easy to carry for work, school or a walk outdoors.
- Versatile in oatmeal, salads, soups and baked dishes.
Leave the skin on. Much of the fiber in an apple is found just beneath it.
Other seasonal favorites
Try roasted squash, carrots and sweet potatoes, warming lentil soups and hearty grain bowls with kale or cabbage.
Simple ideas to try
Bake apples with cinnamon and oats, add sliced pears to a green salad or roast a tray of mixed vegetables for meals throughout the week.
