Hello all you lovely folks. So happy to have you hear this morning and hoping all are well and safe.
It is pretty cloudy out right now, yet it is 66*F. Yesterday got back to about 80*. We have rain coming into tonight and overnight. Yesterday I got a little shower in the afternoon, but all it did was make it humid!
I did do a bit more yard work early yesterday, and may go out this morning and get a bunch of peppers and green tomatoes - we have a small chance of frost on Saturday morning.
It is really supposed to cool and get windy after the rain for a couple days. Back to good by Monday.
I slept horribly last night - not sure what was up with that! I looked at the clock at 5:30 this morning, and thought I will get up in a few minutes - then woke up at 6:30!! I never get up that late.
Apples can be fixed and eaten in so many ways other than just fresh. I am a fan of fried apples, mom used to fix them often in the fall. We had a couple of apple trees, so that was a free food!
You can make cobbler, crisp, pie, or sauce. Apple cider is also a fall favorite - Mmmmmm.
A good fresh apple and peanut butter is a tasty treat and it is filling.
Apples are full of vitamins and minerals and like the old saying states - "an apple away keeps the doctor away"! I eat apples often (all year) as well as citrus. I do love my sweets at times - but give me fruit and I happy!
Now there are also fun and maybe some not quite as healthy ways to eat apples as well. Lots of people have campfires and fall gatherings and I think either of these would be fun, for children and adults alike.
Simple and fun ways to make the fall season a bit more festive. I think youngsters would love to come home from school to the slices for a snack!
I really like a good caramel apple. I don't get them often, and I usually cut them up to eat - oh those things are messy - but so good!
I hope you can get some good apples this fall and enjoy them in your favorite way. Now is the time to get good pricing. Stores are even carrying multiple varieties. Maybe you have your own tree and can get them for free. I wish I had an apple tree.
What is your favorite way to eat apples??
I remember as a kid I used to sit behind the garage and stuff myself with green apples - mom always told me I would end up with a belly ache!!! I sure did love apples, even back then.
Have a super weekend and relax and enjoy each other.
Have a great day!
Hi Cheryl what a beautiful post! I love apples too. My favorite is apple pie. I make them the traditional double crust way and my husband uses a French crumb top. I also love Carmel apples I used to make them every year, but now with my dental work, Carmel doesn't like me anymore. :). Our favorite apple that we eat most days is the Honey Crisp. But I also love Gala apples. Back in the 90's we had our first little house and I planted 3 Gala apple trees in the back yard. It took three years before we had any fruit then it started to produce baskets full. It was wonderful, I miss those trees so much. I use green Granny Smith apples in my pies and tarts. I usually use a mixture of Red Delicious and Granny Smith when I make apple sauce. I hope you have a lovely day ahead :)
ReplyDeleteGood morning. Mom used to make French apple pie - oh goodness, I haven't had one of those for years. Nothing more American than apple pie! All the types you mentioned are all so good. I wish I had thought to plant when we first moved here - the tree would be huge now.
DeleteThank you and you too!
I like Gala apples, they're tart and sweet. They make good apple salad, they're lovely cooked as a chunky sauce, they're tasty as a snack. I like to make my sauce with chopped up apples (skin on), raisins, pineapple juice, ginger, and cinnamon.

They are a good apple. I buy those often.
DeleteOh my, that sounds like some yummy sauce!
