The scarves have come out, riding boots are back, Halloween candy is beginning to line grocery store shelves, and one thing is for sure: fall is officially under way. For all of us at Food52, that means it's time to get excited about apple season (we have a whole collection on Provisions dedicated to it, after all).

This week, as part of our new partnership with Etsy, we scoured the site to bring you unique -- and mostly vintage -- items to fill your every apple need. Whether you plan on picking your own, baking a pie, or canning some delicious applesauce, check out these treasures to make the most of this year’s harvest. And then come daydream with us about flaky pie crust, hot apple cider, and caramel apples.

Here are our favorite Etsy products to help you pick, prep, and puree. For more of our finds, check out the Food52 page on Etsy.

As the resident pastry chef at Food52, Rachel hails all the way from Northern California, where she was born and raised off fresh produce from the local farmers market. After graduating from Occidental College, she headed to New York to start her career in publishing. After five years in the magazine biz -- Martha Stewart and Architectural Digest included -- she decided it was time to start living the dream and enrolled in the pastry program at the French Culinary Institute. These days she can be found whipping up edible creations for the Provisions product pages or tracking down the new and unique for the next collection. She currently lives in Westchester with her husband and her dog Samantha.

That apple slicer must be a great time saver for when you need perfectly sized slices or just for a quick snack of sliced apples and peanut butter. The Victorio apple peeler/corer looks amazing for when you have a big peeling job. Rachel, thanks for the finds.

Look at those beautiful pie crimpers. Brings back the memories. I think my 9-year-old pie crust girl will find one waiting for her next weekend.

I love the idea re: bringing your own bags to pick apples. The bags the farms provide are never big enough! We went last weekend and I may need to buy the apple peeler and corer in order to make our apple treats. Great article!
