An apple a day keeps the doctor away, that’s what we’ve always been told. The original saying is a little different, “Eat an apple on going to bed and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread.”. The original version came from Wales, first appearing in a publication in 1866. It wasn’t until 1913 that the saying appeared in its current format. The saying came about because in the 19th and 20th centuries medial practice was crude, so the public looked for ways to keep doctors and other health practitioners away. And for centuries the apple has become a symbol of health and healthy habits, and is used by many organisations to represents healthier lifestyle choices that lead to good health and wellness.
On the 21st of October 2021, Apple Day is recognised. The event was formed in 1990 by Common Ground, a charity based in Dorset. The intention of Apple Day is to both celebrate the apple in all of its forms, and also to raise awareness in the provenance and traceability of food.
If you love apples, then a great way to enjoy them is in a cake. They actually make a really nice addition to standard cake mixture and add both texture and flavour. We have some great cakes with apples used as a star ingredient.
