Apples a plenty. Not right this moment, but in the fall. Oh-my-lanta. There’s only two old fashioned apple trees at my mom’s house, but boy do they put on the fruit! When Reiner Fruit sent us Lady Alice apples, it gave me the opportunity to test out some more recipes before fall gets here–which will probably be like next week as quick as this year has already gone!

1/4 teaspoon salt
