Apple Harvest Day at the Greenpoint Greenmarket
There will be apple pies on hand to taste this Saturday at the Greenpoint Greenmarket, in celebration of Apple Harvest Day. Members of the market-going crowd will judge the pies and hand out the prize.
I plan to be there with a variation of an apple-grape pie that Cathy Erway seems to have invented and wrote about last year. Don’t worry though – I’ve found there are methods for removing the seeds from the grapes. Supposedly this pie tastes exactly like grape Bubble Yum — and yes, I mean that in a good way.
You can also watch cider being made on an old time cider press and we there will be plenty of cider to drink courtesy of Red Jacket Orchards.
Happy Autumn!

Hipster crowd is always late–so if our pies are, too, we’re just catering to the crowd

Dave! Your grape and apple pie was amazing. Thanks so much for sharing. It was such a yummy treat to have at the farmer’s market today, my boyfriend and I both really loved it. We’re also excited to have discovered your blog.

Thanks Nicole! Glad you liked the pie! I made it again yesterday for Enid’s annual apple pie bake-off, but didn’t come away with any prizes. It was a much bigger event — something on the order of 50 pies!
