Apples, Apples and more Apples.

I love apples. We did get to the apple farm this year but it wasn't a farm where you could pick your own. I did buy a few but I thought they were dreadfully expensive. I still plan to acquire a bushel or so and can pie filling & apple sauce. It is getting a little late for that. Either way, Aldi has been carrying a nice variety (SIX different types!!!) of apples and they are much more reasonable so I have been cooking up a storm of apples! Here are a few apple recipes that I have tried that turned out fabulous! The Chicken & Apples recipe is TO DIE FOR! I am not kidding it was one of the best things EVER! Everyone in my family gobbled it right up!
