Have I ever mentioned to you all that fall happens to be my favorite season of the year? (I am pretty sure you guys have probably heard about my love of all things autumn at least a hundred times since I started this blog, but humor me, okay? ;) ) 






One of my favorite fall family traditions is our annual pilgrimage to a farm/apple orchard/pumpkin patch in Pennsylvania to go apple & pumpkin picking. We have been going to this very same farm each October for 6 years now. In fact, my daughter's first visit there is while she was still in utero. 






Flash forward 6 years later to the weekend before last when we once again visited our favorite farm to go apple picking. Except this time my sweet daughter happens to be smack dab in the middle of the Ferocious Fives. 





I am not even sure that the ferocious fives is technically a thing, but let me tell you all that my husband & I experienced the full brunt of it's wrath a couple of Sundays ago. And if it isn't already a thing, it totally should be. 





I won't get into all of the sordid details, but let's just say that we ended up leaving after only being there for an hour with my daughter screaming bloody murder the whole way back to the car. Did I mention that this farm is an hour & a half drive away? Yep.

Now don't get me wrong, you all. I love a good classic apple pie or apple crisp as much as the next gal, but sometimes (especially when we have been weeks into apple season) I need some new & out of the box recipe ideas for apples. 







I have whipped up a batch of my Homemade Crock Pot Apple Butter, baked a couple of pies, made a crisp or two, but I still found myself with quite a few apples leftover from our annual apple picking pilgrimage. So, I decided to scour some of my favorite food blogs and gathered up some unique apple desserts for fall to share with you all today.
