APPLE PICKING TIME

September 22, 2024

Today, my daughter and I headed out to Applewood Orchard for a delightful day of apple picking. Every year when we visit feels like a mini celebration of fall, and today was no different. We wandered through the rows of trees, excited to find our favorite variety: Sweet Tango. We love these apples not only for their delicious crunch but also for their perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.

In previous years, we often filled our bags with the plan of making applesauce, but this time I felt adventurous. I've decided to try my hand at making apple cider and some yummy apple bars, guided by the recipes from  Comfy Belly. The thought of transforming our harvest into warm, spiced cider and buttery apple bars has me giddy with anticipation. I can already picture us in the kitchen, savoring the comforting autumn aromas wafting through our home. I promise to keep everyone posted on how these delicious creations turn out!  






When we left the apple farm we drove past a bunch of corn fields. Out of curiosity I wanted to check out how tall the corn actually was because it's difficult to gauge from the road.
