Sunday

apple pickin' ~


I hand picked a pretty nice bunch of apples off the tree this morning ~ and there's still some out there for the deer.

I started with the largest ones and worked my way down in size.

Now I KNOW Dear Hubby is going to be begging for a pie.

I saw this recipe and always wanted to attempt it; but seriously ... I can't imagine doing it ... but it sure does look tempting:

Mercy!  I would love to bite into that ~ but would probably go into cardiac arrest or a diabetic coma!!  Oh why do I even look at stuff like this on the internet!! Oh... oh... oh... drool ... drool ... drool ... it has a caramel and pecan topping over apples ... oh lordy ... I have to quit dreaming and go do something constructive.

I think I'll make some Jello.

Until next time ...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.

  1. Now that's a pie and a half! I'm not diabetic, but I think this one would make me lol. I don't think Dad would complain one bit if you made that for him. Love ya and miss ya! Oh, and if I don't hear from ya in awhile I know it's because you have made the pie and gone into a diabetic coma.

  2. Mel, OMG...that just does not seem like it could be a real pie. The funniest thing I have seem. How ever would one slice it?? I like the looks of your pickings. Plenty for some nice fall treats. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  4. Gack! Not jello! Lol. Yes, that recipe does indeed look yummy. But I get a little of a toothache just looking at it. I love, love, love apple season. :) Apple pie, apple crisp, candy apples, apple upside down cake! Oops, there's that toothache again!

  5. Ohhhh those flavors do SOOOO go together:apples, caramel and pecans.

    the apples are beautiful. I like apples cooked, but nothing done to an apple, beats an apple right off the tree.

  8. I think they misnamed that pie, it should be beehive pie! I don't think my huge sweet tooth is big enough for that monster. I'm thinking of making apple bars, more my speed.

  9. I wouldn't even begin to think of making this pie. In fact it looks a bit nauseating to me. Apple Quick Step comes to mind.

    Love your apple picking accomplishment Mel....And for the fact you saved some on the tree for the deer.
