Such a sweet, little act of kindness! Do you have the same tradition in Wales?<br /><br />Your Apple Master looks like the perfect gadget! My favorite recipe for sliced apples is Susan's Cranberry Apple Crisp. We also like to bake apples. You are very blessed to have so many organic apples for baking during Autumn and Winter days, Deb! What a wonderful way to kick off your very favorite season! ♡Dawn@Petals.Paper.SimpleThymeshttp://petalspapersimplethymes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040263296279181432.post-72232296892680298052015-09-03T22:23:10.924+00:002015-09-03T22:23:10.924+00:00Apples are truly the fruits of autumn, the emblema...Apples are truly the fruits of autumn, the emblematic ones, that said all fruits and the products of harvest are autumnal.

How wonderful to step out your door and pick such bounty. I have one of those apple master gagets and they are great to process large amounts of apples.<br />Thank you for bringing a great memory to mind of picking blackberries by the side of the road as a child. My Mama made the best blackberry roll! We are afraid to eat blackberries we see--they seem to like to spray those brambles with herbicides alongside the roads these days. Too much neatness! <br />Enjoy your bounty! ♥<br />The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040263296279181432.post-57660140056920367232015-09-03T17:47:22.182+00:002015-09-03T17:47:22.182+00:00What a fabulous harvest of Apples, they do look ve...What a fabulous harvest of Apples, they do look very nice xSimple Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884864661226371141noreply@blogger.com
