Thanks to the dastardly combination of being sans car and money, I’m sad to report that I missed apple picking this year. Bummer.
Nevertheless, I can still enjoy peak apple season by eating them like a champ. A cold, crisp apple is one of my favorite snacks — cut into thick slices with peanut butter (or nutella!) is the way to go. As such, this collection of tidbits takes its inspiration from the perfect autumn fruit.
- A few neat suggestions for ways to put your apple peels to good use. Similarly, you can also easily make your own pectin from apple leavings–I started collecting scraps (I have a designated container in my freezer) and am looking forward to giving this a shot.
- I hope to make these apple gouda oatmeal cookies soon. Don’t they look tasty? Best of all, you only need to use one bowl. Hell yeah.
- Lastly, wouldn’t seeing this street art each day make taking the red line much more appealing, fellow Chicagoans? (Heh, see what I did there?) Really though, the artist does some pretty cool stuff–fruits & veggies all over the city.
