Pick a Peck of Apples

Its beginning to feel like Fall around here and as loud protestors of the summer heat, we're pretty excited. Fall is by far my favorite season: the beautiful colors of the changing leaves, sweaters and scarves, open windows and burning candles, and a desire to fire up the oven again, which of course involves a myriad of apple desserts! 
Last weekend we went apple picking in Lancaster and spent the day with my family. Zoe even got in on the action... she mostly liked pulling at and trying to eat the leaves. It was a gorgeous day to be outside and we were all full on apples by the time we were done picking (you're allowed to sample the different varieties to make sure you like what you're picking)! Between the 6 of us, we picked about 130lbs of apples. Yeah, we've got plenty. So far we've made an apple pie, apple crisp, and applesauce... not positive whats on the agenda next but possibly cake, dumplings, cobbler... so many possibilities!
