Spanning this glorious September weekend was Ithaca's annual Apple Festival held in the commons, marking the beginning of Fall in the Finger Lakes. That means copper, gold, and amber leaves, scarves, pumpkins, Thanksgiving and... APPLES!!! Can't wait to make apple cobbler, apple pie, apple crumble, apple tart tartin, apple turnovers, apple pancakes, mulled apple cider, pork roast with apples, applesauce, apple butter......
Some appleicious NY varieties including Gala, Ginger Gold, Zesta, and Senshu
Fun Fact: There are 674 commercial apple growers in NY State
Beaucoup de Pommes
Mmm...caramel apples!
Apple fritters from Brötchen, a viennese bakery in the Commons
Apple cider donutz (smelled like heaven)
Sweet, sticky red bean paste-filled sesame balls like you get at Dim Sum!
On a non-apple note: Satay @ Lao Village
A booth was making some MEAN looking latkes the size of frisbees (they called them "potato pancakes")
*Patiently awaiting: Ithaca Chili cook-off in February!
