Apples!!

Fall is here! The weather is feeling like fall and the apples are in season! I really do like this time of year! I usually cut up an apple (Fuji is our favorite) each afternoon and that is our favorite snack. 

When we bought our home 3 years ago there was an apple tree in the back yard and we enjoy picking those apples in the fall and baking with them. They are too tart for me to just eat right off the tree but they are delicious in a few of our favorite recipes!! Thought I would share a picture of one of the baskets we picked this week. 

Then the kids and I made an assembly line and peeled, sliced, and put in freezer bags these wonderful apples. :) I had a few apples that didn't quite fit in to a bag, so with those I made baked apples (see picture below).

I placed the cut up apples in a glass baking dish, added some butter, cinnamon, and sugar (Stevia to be exact). Baked them at 400 for 20-30 minutes, stirring half way through baking time. DELICIOUS!!!

We like apples in our apple muffins, Apple oatmeal bake, Apple bars (I need to get Sarah to post that recipe soon), and Apple oatmeal. My next attempt will be Apple pie or cake. Yummy!!!

Do you like apples? What is your favorite way to eat apples?
