Fall means one thing: apple season! Apple picking is a necessary fall activity -- lots of fun, and it leads to apple cider, applesauce, and (best of all) apple pie. Here, we've rounded up our favorite fall accessories to get you through apple season -- from picking to pie.

No apple picking trip is possible without a sturdy carrier. We love the idea of using a basket (and we love how this one looks).

If you're not a basket person, that's cool, we've got a tote that can handle multiple pounds of your favorite varieties. We're big fans of the text, because everything about apple season is wonderful.
