So understandable. Either way, look no further.<\/p>\n<p>That &#8216;gram is just a few bus rides, or, even more strategically, an Uber-pool away. You&#8217;re going apple picking.<\/p>\n<p>Red Apple Farm is only a 17 minute drive from BU, and there are about 700 different Instagram opportunities. Pet a pig, hop on a hay-ride, try their famous &#8220;apple sundaes&#8221; and hashtag #eeeeaaats. Most importantly though, as its name suggests, Red Apple Farm is prime for picking apples.<\/p>\n<p>The apple Insta is easy and minimalist. It&#8217;s chic in a way only an apple, on a farm1 in New England, can be. Bonus points: leave a leaf on the apple&#8217;s stem for a nice earthy touch. Apples don&#8217;t just make for a fresh, filtered &#8216;gram, though. They&#8217;re multi-functional. Turns out, you can eat them.<\/p>\n<p>Just kidding. But seriously, get two bags of those puppies and bring them back to the first Boston kitchen you can find. There&#8217;s one more fall opportunity waiting for you there: baking an apple crisp.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the most magical and underrated experience of autumn, apple crisp is easy and, warm and paired with the right vanilla ice-cream, it&#8217;s heavenly. Follow the recipe below. You&#8217;re welcome.<\/p>\n<p>-Preheat the oven to 425 degrees<\/p>\n<p>-Peel two bags of apples<\/p>\n<p>-Chop them into small slices<\/p>\n<p>-Put them over a pie-crust in a pie-tin<\/p>\n<p>-In a bowl, mix together one stick (1\/2 cup) of softened butter, 1 cup of flour, and 1 cup of sugar<\/p>\n<p>-Spread the flour\/butter\/sugar mix over the apples<\/p>\n<p>-Bake for 30-45 minutes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So it&#8217;s fall and you&#8217;re ready to pumpkin spice up your life -or, okay, maybe you&#8217;re just looking for an Instagram to caption with the orange leaf emoji.
