Food Trucks and Vendors Show Their Apple Specialties
Confession Time. My favorite autumn produce isn’t pumpkin – I prefer apple. So when asked to judge the Fall Manayunk StrEAT Food Festival’s Apple Dish Submissions, I naturally jumped at the opportunity.
PRO Apple / NO Pumpkin.
Beloved and delicious apples! With 2,500 varieties of apples grown in the United States, there are 100 apple types grown commercially. Bring it on!
Within the tail end of summer and the beginning of autumn, I was excited to see what the Food Truck behemoths of flavor and expertise had to offer.

I once believed cannolis were just okay. I … WAS … WRONG. Cannoli World hits another home run!

Between late summer and early fall is a great time to sip on Made In The Shade’s Apple Lemonade

You are looking at an amazing Apple Dumpling. Created by All of a Sudden Dessert Pantry!

All of a Sudden Desserts was tickled for their 3rd Place Win. Seriously those dumplings were made with L-O-V-E!!!!
After all judged and the awards presented, I stopped for a savory taco meal to counteract of the luscious sweets before I left for home. With food trucks and vendors lining Main Street, it was difficult to choose one place. Check back to see what next Spring’s Manayunk StrEAT Food Festival will offer.
