Apple: You’re a Bighearted Nurturer

Fall’s foremost fruit is more than, well, a fruit — it’s also a powerful symbol of the harvest and loving get togethers. Being drawn to such a homey flavor suggests that you’re a born nurturer and likely relish apple-picking as much for the bounty of ruby-hued gems you’ll collect as for the company you’ll keep while doing so.
