Apple Season Is Here and So are Apple Peanut Butter Cookies!


Its fall again... how did the summer fly by so quickly.  We had such a good time.  On the bright side its FALL AGAIN.  We love fall in our house.  The cooler temperatures means, boots, cute scarfs, sports, hay rides, fall festivals and one my favorites Apple season.

Here in Upstate NY apple season is a very big thing for us.  Heck our state is known for their amazing apples.  We have plenty of U-pick farms and local events to take part in.

Taylor and I have been taking advantage of the apples already this season.  We visited one of our local farms, Hoffmire Farms.Taylor had such a blast pulling the little radio flyer wagon they gave us.  She picked some great apples from Cortland's to Red Delicious. We even were able to pick up some cute little gourds for decorating the house. Since we have so many apples I thought I would share a apple recipe with you.
