Apple Picking Time

Apple picking at Steele Orchard in Cullman, Alabama — started with apple cider slushee and an apple fried pie

A Rosh Hashanah Various

Getting ready for Rosh Hashanah! Here are some little projects from previous years that went really well. This year a new try for me is making apple butter with the apples picked this past weekend at Steele Orchard in Cullman, Alabama.

Round challah (my favorite do-anything-with bread recipe is this one)

Other ideas I’ve done:

Decorated caramel apples (just follow most any recipe for caramel apples, and decoate as you like as a group activity — sweet to write the new year date in chocolate)

If you celebrate, sending you sweetest wishes. If this isn’t your holiday, it’s still a great time to look up recipes for honey cake, apple desserts, and lots more fun. xoxo!
