My favorite fall drink this month: Apple cider (get the good stuff) Diet Cream soda (Target carries Zevia brand with no artificial sweeteners and it’s amazing. Boylan is another favorite) Mint (crush with ice before you put liquid in) Top it off with #justadash of fresh nutmeg (fresh nutmeg is definitely something you should have in your pantry this time of year-use a zester to shave it off)

Use 7-8 cooking apples… I like to use Granny Smith but I also add in some Pink Lady apples which are not quite as tart. Core and slice 8 cups of apples very thinly. Youâll start by mixing in a Tablespoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice, and anywhere from a half cup to three quarters of a cup of sugarâdepending on the sweetness of your apples. Add 2 tablespoons of flour, a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a quarter teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg. Mix until evenly distributed through all the Apple slices (use your hands!) Press your pie crust into a 9 inch pie plate, I just use a store-bought pie dough…it’s such a timesaver but still tastes great. My secret is a quarter cup of melted apple jelly….I brush it over the crust for added sweetness, and then I pour in all the Apple filling. For a little twist on traditional apple pie, I like to use a crumble top instead of crust…so you get the crust on the bottom but then you get an apple crisp on…

Read More...Apple Galettes
My girls love to help in the kitchen so instead of having them “help” with party prep this week, I raided the freezer and we ended up with these yummy apple galettes. My 2,4, and 6 year olds made these and they were easy and fast. Use leftover pie dough. In this case I had one Trader Joes pie crust left in my fridge and split it into 3 pieces. We chopped up apples but you can use any fruit you have in the house. Add cinnamon and sugar to the fruit, mix and pour it into the middle of the pie dough. Fold edges over and spray with coconut oil. Bake at 400-425 for 20 minutes or until golden brown. These were gone in 3 minutes and my girls were so proud of their work!
