One of the most delicious ways to celebrate the beginning of autumn is with some scrumptious apple-accented goodies, so to get your fruity fix, try one of these treats from six local businesses that are all either owned or co-owned by women.
1. NATIVE BREAD Apple Pie Galettes
A customer favorite, Apple Pie Galettes are everything apple! This flakey, sweet crust, classic apple pie flavor is vegan and gluten-free and topped off with a sprinkling of turbinado sugar for that perfect touch.
2. ASH & ELM Honeycrisp cider
Andréa and Aaron Homoya are the husband-and-wife duo behind Ash & Elm Cider Co., and you have to try their cider of the month, Honeycrisp. It’s a fresh-pressed, unfiltered cider made from Beasley’s Orchard Honeycrisp apples. This traditional apple cider is one you don’t want to miss.
3. Tuttle Orchards Apple Cider Slushie
Tuttle Orchards in Greenfield is not only a great fall activity, but also has yummy treats. Their Sweet Shop is open until Oct. 28, 9:00 am-7:00 pm, so after you spend the day picking apples, make sure to stop by and try their Apple Cider Slushie.
4. Pots & Pans Pie Co. Apple Crumble Pie
This traditional apple pie is filled to the brim with apples and topped with a buttery brown sugar crumble. Aside from their Meridian-Kessler location, you can also find Pots & Pans Pie Co at the Broad Ripple’s Farmers Market every Saturday.

Cafe Patachou’s vegan Apple Cider Donut is back for the fall season! Indulge in this sweet treat with a cup of coffee or tea to start your morning right.
