You’re making me wish for Autumn, Chris! These apple recipes are gorgeous - I actually want to try them all! That Carrot-Coriander soup looks heavenly and maybe those apple scones will be first up on my list! (Because I can’t choose just 1🤫☺️)
This makes me so excited!! I need to try every.single.recipe. Trouble is deciding which one first! I've been wanting to come down to one of the Asheville Famer's Markets; is there a favorite of yours? I also need to get down to Sky Top orchard this fall. 🙂
Thanks for reminding me of some of your best apple recipes! I'd pick an apple baked good over almost any other flavor!!
The Danish Apple cake is the recipe my mother made! I even went to my recipe box, the old one with my childhood memories, to compare. She did always say that it was from her friend Sonya's grandmother. Love this!
That is so awesome, Annamay! Who knows, this recipe may have, in some way, been passed on my your mother!
