We&#8217;ve been consuming apples in a variety of forms since we were babies. We likely learned the letter &#8220;A&#8221; by associating it with apples, and have heard our mother tell us countless times,\u00a0&#8220;an apple a day keeps the doctor away.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"m_8427416176294399392formatted_content\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"m_8427416176294399392formatted_content\">From its humble beginnings in the early 1600s up until today, the apple has been and is an integral part of American culture. We can find apple recipes of generations past\u00a0as well as the more newly invented recipes of today&#8217;s health movement. The sweet, crispy crunch of this staple fruit is enjoyed by all ages\u2014and for good reason. The apple is not only fresh, delicious, and accessible, but it&#8217;s also a healthy source of daily vitamins and minerals. It&#8217;s a symbol of our heritage, a means of bringing people together, and a reminder of family and good health.<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"m_8427416176294399392formatted_content\">The Origins\u00a0of the Apple<\/h3>\n<div class=\"m_8427416176294399392formatted_content\">Apples are not new to the American people. In the 1500s, settlers from Europe came to America, bringing the apple seeds and cuttings and planting the first trees. The first apple trees planted in the states produced pungent and sour apples in comparison to today&#8217;s sweet and delicate choices\u00a0that we find at the grocery store. While the settlers didn&#8217;t enjoy snacking on\u00a0sour apples, they loved\u00a0hard cider, which made apples a prominent part of life. \u00a0At the time, hard cider was considered a\u00a0patriotic beverage, and has continued to carry a sense of that early-American pride.<\/div>\n<div class=\"m_8427416176294399392formatted_content\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"m_8427416176294399392formatted_content\">In 1625, the first actual apple orchard was planted by William Blackstone on Boston&#8217;s Beacon Hill, which has now grown to over 300,000 acres of United States land. You&#8217;ve also likely heard of Johnny Appleseed, who was a real person in the late 1700s. (Though his actual name was John Chapman.) He traveled through the the forests of what was then Ohio and Indiana, planting thousands of apple trees and teaching farmers how to grow the plants themselves.<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"m_8427416176294399392formatted_content\">The Apple Adapts to Changing America<\/h3>\n<div class=\"m_8427416176294399392formatted_content\">In the\u00a0late 1800s, &#8220;seeding orchards,&#8221; or planting seeds rather than using apple cuttings, became the more popular method and resulted in hundreds of new varieties of apples. It is said that at one point in history, there were close 7,000 different varieties of apples. The apples at this time\u00a0did not always look like the round and robust apples we find in stores today, but rather grew in odd shapes, sizes, textures, and colors. Again, this wasn&#8217;t much of an issue, since most of the apples were being used for cider.<\/div>\n<div class=\"m_8427416176294399392formatted_content\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"m_8427416176294399392formatted_content\">\n<p>But in the late 1900s, the apple industry (and cider industry) saw a decline as prohibitionists across the country encouraged\u00a0people to cut down the trees, which resulted in hundreds of apple varieties being destroyed. While it suffered, the apple industry was able to recover, and apples eventually earned themselves a place in virtually every meal.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to today, and the U.S. is the second largest apple producer in the world. The apple is an American staple, with over\u00a07,000 apple producers growing over 200 million bushels on average each year. Today the apple has 200 unique varieties ranging from sweet to sour, big to small, red to green, which means there&#8217;s an apple for everyone to love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"m_8427416176294399392formatted_content\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"m_8427416176294399392formatted_content\">This grand &#8220;apple diversity&#8221; also serves as a reminder for all of the\u00a0endless possibilities when creating new dishes and experimenting in the kitchen. Have you ever stopped to think about all the ways one can use an apple? It&#8217;s incredible. The juice can be extracted for a cold-pressed juice, smoothie, or even for a summer-time popsicle. You can dice them up for a salad, breakfast bowl, yogurt, oatmeal, or sprinkle them over your ice cream for dessert. If you&#8217;re a fan of baking, apples are great in pies, cookies, dumplings, and in vegan treats.<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"m_8427416176294399392formatted_content\">All-Around Nourishment<\/h3>\n<div class=\"m_8427416176294399392formatted_content\">\n<p>Apples share another power, in that they play a huge role in bringing folks together.\u00a0Whether you&#8217;re baking an apple pie with your grandmother, apple picking with your children, or packing up a picnic with your lover, the apple is a symbol for connection and togetherness. Apple season is upon us, beginning in mid\u2013June, so plan a family trip or grab your best friend and hit the orchards.<\/p>\n<p>Remember mom&#8217;s advice, and try to sneak in some apple goodness into your daily diet. Grab one on your way out the door for work, pack slices for the kids, and try <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/3-apple-recipes-healthy-sweet-tooth\/\" target=\"_blank\">new apple recipes<\/a>\u00a0with your loved ones.
