More Apple Recipes

mmm......apple pie, how I love you. This was only my second try at making an apple pie, and it's only a little burnt. Still delicious though. I still have MORE apples that I need to try and do something with before they get soft.

apple cinnamon bread


My first attempt at baking something with the apples I picked on Sunday. I made apple cinnamon bread, it needs more cinnamon and maybe something else spice-wise, but overall it tastes pretty good. I may make some more. Luis is campaigning for an apple pie, so that will probably be next. And I'm getting better at peeling apples, but I still suck at it.
The recipe is here

apple picking!




Nothing says fall like a trip to the apple orchard/pumpkin patch. On Sunday, I got to go to Evans Apple Orchard with some friends from grad school. I haven't been apple picking in a long time, so it was good fun picking the apples off the tree. Unfortunately, for every apple I picked another one fell on the ground. Whoops! I also got some delicious apple cider and caramel apples. Man, I love fall. And the weather was amazingly beautiful the whole time. I ended up with almost a peck of apples, which I didn't realize until later--that's a lot of apples. There didn't seem to be a lot of apples on the trees, but we managed to find some good ones.

Weekend at Bingley's


Last weekend I dog-sat Brack's dog Bingley. It was a fun weekend, filled with watching the entire second season of The Big Bang Theory and playing with Bingley. It was fun to pretend I had a dog for the weekend, but am kinda glad that it is done with and I don't have a dog. One day when I have more time and patience, but that's not today. But isn't he so cute?
