Apple Pickin

after church this morning, paige and i headed to the back of our yard to pick apples . we have two apple trees. one tree has green apples that look like granny smith and the other tree has small apples that are green and red.

the green granny smith looking apples look great! they aren't sweet or tart and are very much edible. the red/green ones are small and still a bit tart and we aren't real certain what to expect out of them.

my grandmother, memaw, has an apple tree too and she claims they make the best fried apples.....soooo.....that was the first thing i thought of after picking ours. i threw lots of butter (paula deen style), sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg into a skillet and whipped up some YUMMM-O (as rachel ray would say) fried apples!





and they look cute in my little basket in my kitchen.
