It’s October and that means it is the perfect time to go apple picking! Apple picking is the quintessential fall pastime. It is fairly inexpensive, kid friendly and tons of fun. The best part is deciding what treats to make after you are done. I enjoy having apples sliced with honey or peanut butter. And of course there are the tride and true apple crisp and apple pie goodies to make as well. This week I am venturing into new territory and making my first apple cake.

There are tons of websites devoted to apple picking, finding places to go in your area, determining what types are best for cooking and baking, and recipes for awesome apple desserts. In addition to apple picking October is also a great time to pick your own pumpkins. It usually ends up being cheaper then buying the store bought ones and they are always fresher.

Picking your own is a great way to spend some time outdoors and enjoy the crisp fall air and beautiful folliage.
