A beautiful warm sunny day. We ended up with several different kinds. Mcintosh are the typical favorite but were already out of season so we picked golden delicious and jonagolds, also very yummy!

Apple Picking
The kids and I went apple picking several weeks ago, Oct 21st....yes, I'm still backtracking. Same place as last year - Patterson's fruit farm. The kids love helping (and sampling along the way). We ended up with 40 lbs of apples and made several batches of applesauce and apple crisp. For the apple crisp, I combined two recipes - Ina's topping and The Neely's apple mixture (both Food Network stars). We also just ate a bunch of the apples plain. The kids love apples so it wasn't hard to polish them off. Hopefully there's some truth to the old saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away".

Did you take all three kids by yourself? If so, you are a very good mom! We really got into apples this year, too. Other than making applesauce and eating them plain, I didn't really do anything else with them. I really want to try to make your apple crisp recipe combo as it was really good!!!
