Favoring Fall
Monogrammed Pumpkin
Fall is my favorite time of the year. From the trees and scents outside to the recipes.

Baked Apples
While I was at Christmas Cove (an antique apple farm – more on that later), over the weekend one of the ladies gave me the idea of making baked apples. I couldn’t remember exactly what she said, so I did what I remembered and made up the rest. The finished product was absolutely delish.
Baked Apples
Ingredients
4 medium sized apples
2 tablespoons butter; cut into small pieces
1/4 cup brown sugar; packed
1/3 cup oats
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon cinnamon
dash of cloves
dash of nutmeg
apple cider or water
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Combine butter, brown sugar, oats, walnuts, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg in a bowl; mixing with a fork until crumbly.
3. Spoon out the center of the apples.
4. Fill apples evenly with the oat mixture.
5. Place apples in a 8×8 dish.
6. Add about an inch of water or apple cider to the dish.
7. Cover lightly with foil
8. Bake 15 minutes covered, remove foil and bake another 10-20 minutes; or until apples are tender.
9. Enjoy :]
Celebrating 150 Years
The smell of fresh pressed apple cider and homemade donuts is the quintessential smell of fall in my opinion, and that’s what you get when you go to Yates. This year Yates is celebrating 150 years of the BEST cider and donuts in the state. Yates doesn’t pasteurize their cider (which drastically changes the taste) they use a UV light process instead which results is the best cider Michigan has to offer. Don\’t forget to take a walk on the trail along the Clinton River and stop into the apple tent!
