The apple is the most versatile of fruits. If you're interested in finding new ways to prepare apples, the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association has many recipes, including winners from the state apple recipe contest. Visit http://www.waga.org/ for more information when you come and stay at the Franklin Victorian Bed and Breakfast in Sparta, WI.

• About 1/2 of the U.S. apple crop is processed into apple products such as applesauce, pie filling, jams, jellies and juice.
• The average U.S. consumer eats about 65 apples (or 22 pounds) per person annually.
