One of my favorite desserts to make in the fall is definitely a classic apple pie!
Funny story: We love to go apple picking this time of year and I’ll never forget the first time I took the girls apple picking. My oldest was so excited that she could pick as many apples as can fill our bags and we seriously came home with enough apples to last us for months. Of course, since we couldn’t keep fresh apples for months, I instead tried to find as many recipes as I could to use those apples. On top of that, we ate apples for every single snack and side. After they were done, my kids would not eat another apple for at least 6 months! It was classic!
Well, a yummy apple pie was certainly on my list for apple based recipes to try. If you’re looking for an apple pie recipe this season, here’s a great one to try!
