I love apples! In fact, I collect apple knick-knacks. I've got apple cookie jars (one of which was my grandmother's), apple bells and just plain old wooden apples.

My hub and I used to go to a cider mill every fall, when we were first married. We would buy all kinds of apple products, apple butter, apple jelly and, of course, some apples. We moved away from there 15 years ago though. We do go to a spot not too far from here and pick wild apples. I love to make apple sauce. It doesn't last long in my house either!
