[spikesgirl58]

To me, more than pumpkin spice, autumn means apples.

1. Have you ever bobbed for Apples?
2. Do you like a regular or hard apple cider?
3. Do you have a special type of apple that you prefer over others?
4. Have you ever made baked apples?
5. Who is the apple of your eye?

1. Have you ever bobbed for Apples?

I'm not sure actually; maybe once in elementary school.

2. Do you like a regular or hard apple cider?

I have never drank much of either, but I guess it would lean toward the French hard cider.

3. Do you have a special type of apple that you prefer over others?

I tend to prefer ones that lean toward the tarter side; Winesap, Braeburn, McIntosh.

4. Have you ever made baked apples?

Yes, but it is not my favorite way to cook with apples.

5. Who is the apple of your eye?

My hubby of 30 years.

You know I'm going to ask. What's your favorite was to cook with apples. :D

And thanks for playing along! :D

I like them mixed into savory dishes. I did one last fall with fennel and cheese that was incredible.

For sweet, I do love apple pie, but for just an every day dessert, I like this better: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017857-easy-as-pie-apple-cake?action=click&module=RecipeBox&pgType=recipebox-page®ion=apple&rank=3

Its easy and very tasty.

OM gosh that does sound good! I love fennel. Do you happen to have that recipe?

Thanks so much for this recipe! I will have to give it a whirl!

[lizzybuffy2008]

That recipe comes from a book called "Six Seasons" by Joshua McFadden and (sorry) I only have it in hard copy. I highly recommend it though, particularly if you like veggies and eating seasonally. I know some people that have gotten it from the library to try it out before buying it.

Very cool. We are getting ready to leave on vacation, but I will check it out when I get home again. Thanks! :D
