By: OneTable + Apple Blossom Farms

There’s something magical about fall apples — their crisp bite, sweet fragrance, and the way they make us feel instantly grounded. At OneTable, we love celebrating seasonal abundance, and this year we’re partnering with Apple Blossom Farms, a family-run orchard in New York’s Hudson Valley, to bring that harvest right to your Shabbat table — and ship across the lower 48 states.

Apple Blossom Farms has been growing apples for generations, carefully tending to their orchards and shipping fresh, hand-picked fruit directly to your door. Every apple arrives crisp and full of flavor, and alongside their seasonal boxes, you’ll often find thoughtful gifts like local honey or small-batch preserves. It’s all about sharing the taste of the season — simply, reliably, and with genuine care.

To inspire your own fall flavors, our very own OneTable Team has created three simple, crowd-pleasing apple recipes perfect for Shabbat dessert or anytime you’re craving a sweet seasonal treat.
