Fall is a time for frolicking in crispy, colorful leaves, snuggling up by the fireplace (or is it too early for that?), and arguably the most important, apple picking. Maybe you head out to the apple orchards in town to pick and gather apples with your family and friends. You head home with buckets and buckets of apples only to realize that one can only eat so many raw apples until one must find another way to eat them. This apple recipes round-up is meant for that realization. Enjoy!
