Apples are a perfect autumn treat! In the 19th and 20th centuries, a polished apple was considered a traditional gift given to teachers, possibly as edible compensation to poorly paid educators. Still, the image persists, and gave rise to the term "apple polisher" (think bootlicker), coined in the 1920s. In any case, apples are great treats for students and teachers, so send your kids to school with a few allergy friendly apple-themed treats!
