Gone to the Orchard...

For me Halloween was less about sweet sugary candy and more about sweet juicy delicious apples!
We went apple picking!
Nothing says autumn like a brisk walk through the orchard!

 


After a wagon ride out into the orchard, brown bag in one hand and the bf in the other, we got to pickin'! The weather was perfect - just cold enough to thoroughly enjoy some hot apple cider - but warm enough that we didn't need gloves. The sun was shining and the apples were beautiful! We ended up picking just over 17lbs of pink lady apples and at only $1 per pound it was well worth it to be able to choose which ones we thought were the best of the best! A perfect way to spend our Halloween!

I'm planning to try my hand at some homemade apple sauce, muffins and pies over the coming weeks. If you have any other apple recipe suggestions I'm all ears - please comment below!
