We have so many incredible varieties of Apples here at the Philly Farmers markets, my current favorite is the Gold Rush apple, its an heirloom variety that looks like something from a Dutch Painting and as a deep fragrant floral flavor and then there are the wonderful Honey Crisp, The Pink Ladies, the Macaoun...so many apples, such varieties of flavor, why choose just one? Poppy seeds and honey pair beautifully with apples, warm goat cheese toasts and bitter greens & radicchio its colorful, warm crunchy, creamy fresh —Aliwaks
