This time of year is in a close second to the summer because I love all of the yummy foods that come on this time of year with two my all time favorites - apples and pumpkins! I am a huge Rachael Ray fan and I was thrilled that October's magazine is filled with apple and pumpkin recipes. Awesome!
I could live off of pumpkins and apples all through the autumn season and right into the holidays. I love just about anything with pumpkin in it - pie, cookies, cocoa, pasta; if a pumpkin is in it I will most likely eat or drink it. I also love apples as well. I love applesauce, juice, cider, pie, chutney, and my favorite guilty pleasure - caramel and candy apples! I love going to the fair and getting these! They are so yummy and I can justify eating it because it is "healthy."
I want to expand my baking skills as they are quite lacking (ask my sister or mom about the time I added too much salt to the cookies) and I found this decadent pumpkin recipe on Rachael Ray's website: Pumpkin Whoopie Pies! It is an Amish recipe and pumpkin - best of both worlds! And then I want to try and make my own caramel or candied apples. I love candied apples because it is like eating your favorite hard candy over an apple and the caramel apples are delicious because they are!
What are your favorite recipes that incorporate all of the yummy fall fruits and veggies?
