My sister Jodie called me earlier in the week to see if I was interested in going apple picking. Despite the fact that we just went last weekend I eagerly said yes!
This meant
1) some quality girl-time
2) I could use up my apples from last weekend to make more of that yummy apple butter
So I loaded my crackpot with all the fixins’ & we headed back to the orchard.
no. wait. That’s Ryan from years ago.
THIS was yesterday… My niece, Mollie was desperately looking for a green apple. She was a bit excited when she found one!
Ali & my niece, Alexis…

we went for a hayride to a pumpkin patch
Lex was very concerned with liability issues
Jodie, Lex & I found the cornfield
Jodie with her girls

Mollie munching on one of many apples..
I fell in love with this little apple… it’s perfect!
to give you an idea of how little it is, I placed it next to my coffee mug.

How can I pick a fav apple dish? Apple sauce, apple butter, apple pie, apple sausage, apple crisp, apple strudel, apples & saurkraut, fried apples, caramel apples, apple wedges with dip, the list goes on and on. And, I want to know where you found that corer-I have been looking for one & haven’t found it an any store.

That explains it, we don’t have a WS in the area-probably a good thing.

My favorite apple dish is chunky apple sauce. But I also love a nice crunchy apple with fat free caramel for dipping. Nice snack at work.
