  1. I have never baked an apple pie in my life - that's beyond amateur in my book. Don't know if I'm brave enough to try. LOL

  2. I am not a baker, but this sounds delicious! I am a great "taster" though :) I love fall in New England, all the fun festivals and fairs. Such a wonderful perk of living in CT!

  7. Every time fall comes around, I feel so sad because I am no longer able to eat apples, due to an allergy. They are the quintesential fall food and apple pie is so wonderful!
