It is September 3, and fall is not officially here, but the apples definitely are! This is my very favorite time of year and one of my very favorite things to do in the fall, is go pick apples at our local orchard. The very first time we picked apples, I had 2 little tiny girls, and I wanted to learn to make great pies. Allen and I with the girls in tow, set off for Bells Apple Orchard where we picked a gorgeous bushel of apples. That week I made apple butter, applesauce and an apple pie every single evening until I got it down! My husband didn't complain...the pies were delicious! I have picked apples with all ten of my children and now they are picking them with theirs.
One of my favorite recipes, a very easy one, is an apple dip recipe given to me by my neighbor, Connie, about 25 or so years ago. It has become a family favorite and is delicious with those fresh apples.
Connie's Apple Dip
- Melt 1/2 cup butter in a small saucepan
- Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar and stir until it is smooth
- Stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1 tsp. vanilla and stir it with a whisk until it is well combined.
- If you have time, refrigerate for an hour or so so that it firms up a bit
Have a great day!
