Can’t have fall without apples, right? I convinced Ken to visit an apple orchard over the weekend. It took some work but he ended up admitting that it was fun. Last year the apple crops were devastated due to some crazy weather back in the spring so many of the orchards weren’t even offering U-pick apples. This year is suspected to be the biggest harvest in decades. The weather was perfect and the apples were abundant.
I had to battle the light coming in from the trees and other people getting into my photos. That made for some interesting light on my subjects. But I think they’re cute anyway.
However, that pesky light gave me images like this:
My mom is coming in a couple weeks and I plan to take her back with me. Now all I have to do is eat this 1/2 bushel of apples. Have a favorite recipe? I’ve already made a German Apple Cake (thank you Steffie) and I have a recipe for applesauce. What else do I need to make with these beauties?
And, of course, what adventure isn’t complete without jumping pictures?
So…bring on those apple recipes!

Looks like so much fun! I love the one of Ken “levitating.” 🙂
What about apple butter? But I don’t have a recipe!! 😕
I do love your posts. If you ever get an opportunity to be here in the Fall I want to take you to Bramble Orchard. You will love it there. The best apple and Pumpkin butter in the WORLD!
