Legend of Fall(Series I)--Apple, apple , I love you :)

Apple cider cinnamon poached apple

Fall is here, fall means apple, butter squash, pumpkin....( why am I only able to think of 3??)
Falls is painted in orange, which makes you feel warm and comfortable like S-un-K-ist. I want to be a person that is easy to get along with, so I got that orange hoodie. But it didn't work as well as I thought:( The world is so complicated and gaogao is too powerless...


The first series is dedicated to Apple. it is said having an apple everyday, all kinds of illness would keep away from you. There are many kinds of apple, in China, we like to eat Fuji, golden Delicious. After I came here, I started to like gala, even red delicious, because it is not very sweet(low-sugar) and dark-red skin makes me feel it has so much vitamin. Then I turned out to be a fan of more tangy ones , like bourbon. My new favourite is Jazz , it is very pretty, tangy , crispy, sweet.


Did some apple firmness test for poaching:
Gala: mild easy to lose firmness
Jazz: tangy takes longest
Honey crispy: crispy but mild easy to lose firmness
Grand smith: easy to lose firmness
