Apple picking is a fall tradition in my family. I’ve gone apple picking every year since my earliest childhood memories, and the tradition has continued with my three kids. We love the adventure of finding new varieties, running down the rows, and enjoying freshly picked-right from the vine – apples while we stroll.
After picking, the fun continues in the kitchen! Apple sauce, apple crumbles and pies are the usual, but this year we experimented with this delicious bread.
