Warm fluffy goodness mixed with the tart and sweet flavors of apples. The perfect way to invite fall into your kitchen! YUM.
My neighbor had a barrel of apples given to her from a friend’s orchard. In exchange for using my dog to “hunt and kill” a garter snake roaming through her shoes in her closet–I got 10 pounds of gorgeous, organic apples. Not only are we slicing up for snacks, tossing ’em into salads, I thought I would make apple muffins and bread.
