Lincoln Schools Celebrate Locally Sourced Apple Crunch Day

As autumn brings apples into focus, coverage ranges from seasonal tasting and gourmet treats to school and home use. Lincoln Public Schools marked National Farm to School Month with an Apple Crunch featuring locally sourced fruit, part of a broader effort to buy from regional producers and teach students where food comes from. A Rochester nutrition segment sampled New York State varieties for their flavors, while another feature spotlighted gourmet apple treats. Apples can also be a nutritious everyday choice when eaten whole, including the peel, though the health benefits are distinct from those of sugary baked desserts.
