With the approach of autumn comes apple season. People gather to go apple picking as apples become readily available at local stores. For one Fishers-based organization, this year will mark its store’s 30th anniversary.

Opening on Sept. 1, the Conner Prairie Apple Store celebrates 30 years here in Fishers. In honor of this significant milestone, a special treat will be offered to customers: a limited edition pearlescent caramel apple.

“The traditional gift for a 30-year anniversary is the pearl so we’ve found a way to create a special hand-dipped pearlescent caramel apple this season,” Marcilynn Keys, president of the Conner Prairie Alliance volunteer group that operates the store, said. “We’re sure it will be a hit.”

The store will open at 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays till Oct. 31. On opening day the store will offer a 15 percent discount on all items. Products offered at the store include hand-dipped caramel apples, fresh popcorn, apple pies, gifts, candy and treats. Favorites from previous years return such as caramel apples dipped in dark chocolate and dusted with sea salt and Annie’s Apple, a freshly cut apple drizzled with caramel. Special discounts and promotions will be offered throughout the season on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

“Each season, Alliance members dip thousands of caramel apples, pour cider slushies, bag hundreds of Indiana grown apples, bake dozens of apple pies and so much more to raise money for Conner Prairie,” Keys said. “We have raised nearly $1 million for Conner Prairie and we should surpass that mark this year.”
