appleicious.
Since moving to New England, one of my favorite past times in the fall is apple picking. We've made it now a tradition to annually visit Smolak Farms for our apples, christmas trees, delicious warm apple cider and cider doughnuts. I imagine the people with professional cameras had a field day at this farm {I saw many people with them}, BUT, here's what I managed to capture with my little point and shoot. I truly enjoy photographing on farms, outdoors, etc.
I have never attempted to make apple crisp or apple pie and I would love to try both. My go-to is typically apple cider and apple sauce. If you have any tips on making either a pie or crisp, I would love to hear them! I will post on how both turn out. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and getting a chance to soak in the new Lonny Mag! LOVE this issue.

These photos are totally gorgeous - fall is just my favorite. We went apple picking last weekend and I tried my hand at making apple crisp...I was less than satisfied with my debut and am seeking out alternative recipes. Ha.

These are fantastic photos! I especially love the cute little flat amidst the apples and the gorgeous gourds. The northeast really is incredible this time of year.
ReplyDeleteApple crisp is easy to make! I use my grandma's recipe which is as follows:
ReplyDelete-peel and slice apples (about 4 cups, but really, fill the dish you're using)
-stir in 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tbsp flour and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon to cover all the slices
Next, mix together 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup flower 1/4 cup butter, 1/8 tsp baking powder, 1/8 tsp baking soda.
Spoon this mixture over the top of the apples, and then bake at 375 for 40 minutes.
I have never had a bad outcome with this recipe. I've plated with various things-- sometimes I don't have the baking power or soda, that doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I've also played with the amount of sugar, trying to lower it a little. I've never tried a sugar substitute though.
Also important to know is the type of apple to use. I recommend jonathans/jonagold, mcintosh, or honeyscrisps. I don't recommend golden/red delicious apples but that's my personal preference.
ok I have been seeing lots of you picking up apples or making apple related post and Im getting jealous, sounds like chic fun :) Love the idea!!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous- I used to live in Virginia, and now that I'm living in Florida I miss the seasons (we had apple festivals :D) so much! Also, where is your sweater from? It's so cute!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! I love apple picking in New England too :) I haven't been to that place...maybe for next year!
ReplyDeleteI remember going to Smolak Farms as a field trip during elementary school! Lovely pictures! Mmm, apple cider...
ReplyDeleteLooks like the perfect autumnal activity!

If there were a fallish looking apple orchard near Houston, I'd drive out there this minute! Mmm...your apple crisp and pie photos are making me hungry!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to bake a pumpkin pie with a pecan praline topping this weekend. I'll have to stick with a gluten free crust, so not quite as delectable and buttery and flakey as your apple pie, but at least it will smell like fall in my house!
Happy weekend!
