Picking Apples and a Few Favorite Apple Recipes

We've been picking apples, which means we're pulling out all our Favorite Apple Recipes! Scroll down for everything apple.

I'm sure I've mentioned it a few hundred times here lately, but I'm not the biggest fan of October. After all of summer's sunshine and warm days and adventures, October always feels like a slap in the face. All of the sudden it's cold and it's dark and school eats up so much of our time.

I'm really an October grump.

But I'm an October grump that's trying to reform. So we've been visiting pumpkin patches and picking apples and baking delicious things like Pumpkin Apple Cinnamon Rolls. I'd still trade all of this in for another month of June, but I have to admit, it's definitely helping.

And while all my kids do enjoy a good climb up an apple tree, it really is better if you climb it with cousins. (Especially cousins who love their pink cowboy boots!)

Now, we have loads of golden delicious apples (and a few other varieties too). Many have already been turned into applesauce, but I'm ready to experiment so get ready for a whole batch of new apple recipes here! (Here's my guide for How to Can Applesauce)
