Apples & Peaches

This afternoon Ben and I drove to a local orchard to pick up the 1/2 bushel of big, yellow Encore peaches that I ordered for canning on Thursday. Upon entering the little farm store at the orchard, we were hit with an unbelievable fragrance of apples. When I saw they had Honeycrisp, I knew we had to buy a basket. My sister served this variety at Game Night last week sliced with a chocolate & raspberry dipping sauce on the side. One bite and these became my new favorite apples. So sweet, juicy and amazingly crisp. Ben ordered apple fritters this evening, and I declared we would have baked apples for breakfast tomorrow morning. I LOVE the fruits of fall!
