Despite the fact that I haven’t finished raking the leaves in my yard, we have a solid layer of snow on top.

When does apple season end? I hope it’s like December because I have a million more apple recipes to share. Specifically, a million more apple butter recipes to share. Luckily, apple butter keeps for a long time, so be sure to make a batch and eat a couple hundred apple butter grilled cheeses this winter. […]
