apple season

Orchard's busiest months

Apple season is the time of year when apples ripen and are harvested, typically late summer through fall in temperate climates.

The phrase often evokes autumn activities like orchard visits and cider-making: We always go apple picking during apple season.

It can refer to commercial harvest periods or simply when apples are at their freshest and most abundant.
