With a predicted banner year for apple picking, autumn-obsessed New Englanders have one more reason to love the season.
The apple-picking season kicked off this weekend, and experts project trees will produce a bounty of the fruit this year. The six-state apple harvest is forecast to be about 14 percent higher than last year's, and 18 percent above the region's five-year average, according to the U.S. Apple Association.
