The time of the year is finally here! Do you have any idea how long I was awaiting this??
This time last year I was on my internship in Vienna, now I'm in Hudson Valley picking apples and enjoying them in every possible way! It was a wonderful experience, since I've never done it before.




Back in Split we do get amazing apples, but it's not common for the Mediterranean to have farms like this. I think this was the first time here in NY that I tasted an apple the way it should taste and i couldn't get enough of it. There were different varieties, as you can see on the photo, and it was astonishing trying them all at the same time and noticing how they differentiate in size, texture, color, water content, and crispness.




We got a bag, and while eating as much as we could, we filled it with our favorite varieties and went back to school to make all the amazing apple delicacies. We made everything from Apple pie, apple butter, apple crisp...you name it! The whole CIA could smell it. Heaven!!!
