Apples to Apples

So it has taken me a couple of days to write this post because I had to come out of my apple coma before I had any strength to write about them. So my girls from high school and I decided it would be fun to go apple picking on Sunday and then come back and cook/bake with the apples we picked. Sounds like a cute corny fun idea for fall right? Well naturally whenever my disney obsessed/super planner friend organizes anything it always turns into an extravaganza. :)

We started with Pumpkin Spice Lattes :) so far so good. Apple picking was fun. Found a little girl named Shana...what are the odds. So anywho we go back to Jen's where the five of us each pick a different recipe and make it...thats right, 5. And to top it off we had a chicken dish with an APPLE topping for dinner, with a side dish of APPLE almond salad. For dessert we ended up with APPLE crisp over vanilla ice cream thanks to yours truely :) Then APPLE rice pudding, APPLE  and pear cobbler, APPLE muffins, and you guessed it APPLE pie :) (gluten free for Alicia) APPLE cake with a frosting drizzle, and don't forget the hot APPLE cider. As a lovely parting gift we all got a fifth of the APPLES that we had picked. After re-reading this the pumpkin spice latte sounds a bit out of place don't you think?
