After the zoo, we decided to go apple picking because we are crazy I had a craving for Evan's Apple Cider and needed more apples for another apple pie.
The weather was perfect, although since it was late in the apple picking season, the trees were pretty well picked over.

We were still able to find enough yummy apples to sample and add to our bag.
And we bought a peck (is that a real measurement) of my most favorite HoneyCrisp in the market along with a gallon of apple cider.
A benefit to apple picking with few apples was the absence of other apple pickers. We pretty much had the orchard to ourselves!
With our apples I made a homemade apple pie, which didn't last long enough to photograph, and since I was on a domestic kick, I also whipped up a loaf of Maple Oat "Becca Bread".
It's soooooooooooo good!
Oh, yum! We haven't gotten to make our apple pie from local apples yet this year...due to some confusion about the apples in the house and someone eating our pie apples....and now, I don't know if we'll have time to go buy more due to the other issues happening in our lives right now.
ReplyDeleteBut, the zoo, apple pie, and fresh bread in close proximity? What a fabulous life! :-)
