Good morning. Today is another lovely morning. Even though today and tomorrow are supposed to get to 90*F and get more humid, I am thinking all things fall. I think many of us are. It is a beautiful time of the year - and the tastes and scents of fall are yummy.
It is apple time. Cider and apples are just fun - and this time of the year is when they can both be had at the peak of flavor.
So many to pick from!
You can also just place a pan of water on the stove on low - with apple or citrus peels, maybe a dash of cinnamon or clove and simmer. The house will smell soooooo good.
*Don't like raisins? - you could maybe add dried cranberries or other fruit or chopped nuts or even chocolate chips!
And to end things up - here is just a good meme to remind us to be our best ALWAYS. Listen, help, donate, smile, hug, just be a good person! Words to live by.
I wish you all a great remainder to your week. Have a lovely weekend.
Be positive, do good and have a good time.
Have a super wonderful day!
I love Fuji and Gayla for eating and Honey Crisp for baking. I have a recipe for caramel apple bundt cake that I want to try this weekend. Last weekend I made a sweet potato pie and it made the kitchen smell like fall. That quick dessert recipe looks really good. I'll have to give that a try. It sounds like it would be a nice snack. Wishing you a wonderful day Cheryl.
ReplyDeleteI love apples so much. I am an apple eater and a citrus eater. Sometimes I just crave both of them.
DeleteI bet the pie was tasty and your house had to have smelled wonderful.
That is kind of what I thought - quick and easy and a low calorie snack.
Carmel apple bundt cake sounds dreamy.
We ate a lot of apples when I was a child, usually Red Delicious or McIntosh. As a young adult I preferred Granny Smith. These days I don't eat apples very often but an apple crisp sounds pretty darned good.
ReplyDeleteI went through many years of eating a ton of Granny Smith. Now they are just a bit too tart for me unless baking.
DeleteA crisp does sound tasty!
The apples all look so beautiful and yummy! We have been buying Honey Crisp in small quantities. I made an apple salad yesterday. Years ago I made an apple pudding cake that was wonderful. Those days are gone.
ReplyDeleteWe are not looking forward to the weekend temperatures and humidity but it will be short-lived. There are lots of leaves on the front yard from the sweet gum trees. Supposed to cool down the first of October and that will be when I will swap out the closets.
Enjoy your weekend in the a/c with the kitties!
I really like apple anything. So many yummies.
DeleteYes, it is going to get hot - but cold weather will be here in a flash. I will do the heat as long as possible.
Thanks!
Apple pudding cake sounds wonderful! I'll have to look online to see if there is a recipe for that which I can cut way down to feed one or two people..
DeleteMy favorite apples now are Gala, they seem to work for apple salad and apple sauce. For apple sauce I like to add pineapple juice in the cooking.
MaryB
Mmmmm
DeletePineapple juice in applesauce - sounds yummy!
I like that natural scent recipe. I need to try that soon.
ReplyDeleteCool. Pretty cheap too!
DeleteI just love apple season -- especially having grown up in SW Michigan's fruit belt, where apple orchards were abundant. I still love a good Red Delicious, and I absolutely love Honeycrisp for eating. One of my favorite farm stands makes up a mixed bag for applesauce, and I don't even know what all they include -- 5-6 different varieties? I couldn't come up with that mix on my own, so I'll just grab a bag of their applesauce apples. No sugar needed, just cook down the apples with a little water and lemon juice to keep the color. Those cookies look delicious! I think I'll be making some of those, too, in addition to another batch of zucchini bread.
ReplyDeleteThat is a smart idea to sell a mix bag! I bet it makes great applesauce.
DeleteYes, they do look delish - happening here this weekend. Enjoy the zucchini bread!
Mmmmmm, apple anything is a favourite of mine. Linda makes a scrumptious spiced apple cake and a delicious apple sour cream slice. Mouthwatering to hear what everyone does with apples.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend. Louise
My mom used to make a spiced apple cake with a coconut/pecan gooey topping! Oh it was soooo good.
DeleteApple sour cream - Mmmmm.
I love apples too.
Oh my that sounds gorgeous. Do you have a recipe because I would try that in a heartbeat. Apple, coconut, pecans and gooey, four of my favourite things. Louise
DeleteI will look it up - I do believe I have it. Kind of my four favorite things too!
DeleteMy current favorite apple is Cosmic crisp. It was developed at Washington state university and can only be grown in Washington for ten years. It is a sweet/tart apple and very crisp. A cross between a honeycrisp and another apple . I was raised in a fruit orchard, primarily apple. Love all things apple
DeleteNancy that sounds like an apple I would love. It covers everything I like in an apple. I so love a crisp apple.
DeleteI love this time of year, with so many types available.
Love to have a variety of apples - favourite is still a MacIntosh but also love a Pink Lady and a Honey Crisp - plus I use Granny Smiths in a lot of salads and for cooking along with eating.
ReplyDeleteAll good choices. Grannies are such a good cooking apple.
DeleteNot too many, that I would think are bad!
I've been trying my best to cut out sugar as much as possible..that recipe sounds good. We love apples too-we love golden delicious the best but all of your favorites are ours too.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to find good recipes (IMO) without sugar. So to find a yummy one is great.
DeleteAn apple a day............
