Although apples can be purchased throughout much of the year thanks to modern storage and distribution, late summer through autumn is an important harvest period, depending on the variety.

🍎 Hongro apples → commonly associated with the earlier autumn harvest
🍎 Fuji apples → generally harvested later in autumn

Autumn is therefore an excellent season to explore Korean apple-producing regions and traditional markets.
