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.

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!
