I must be apple crazy . . .

Apparently I can only bake with apples lately. I love making special Sunday morning breakfasts (last week was french toast with bananas in caramel sauce, unfortunately I did not take pictures) and when I saw this recipe http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/10/breakfast-apple-granola-crisp/ for Breakfast Granola Apple Crisp at Smitten Kitchen, I had to make it :)

So I went back for yet more apples, this time from the grocery store. Isn't that little bag cute though?




In they went into the baking dish . . .







Topped with butter, honey, oats and flour . . .

The kitchen smelled so yummy while this was baking!

Breakfast was served this morning with french vanilla yogurt. Yum!

Apples Part II

Finally finished up the last of the apples from the orchard, and what a better way for them to go than into a yummy apple pie!

Here they are getting ready to jump in!

And here they are all peeled and ready to go! (Thanks Mom for the new paring knife!)

All tucked into the crust, decorated with heart cut outs

Yum! This pie won't last long!

I added a tablespoon vanilla instead of water, a tablespoon of cinnamon, and a dash of nutmeg to the filling and it turned out great!

Summer is officially over

. . . When the Mustang goes into storage :(

It does look pretty beastly under its Steeda car cover though, doesn't it?

Here is a pic of its neighbor in the barn

That's a BIG boat!

Here is what I am picturing next April when it comes out:

Mostly just the part where the mustang comes out of the barn!
