Yesterday was one of those blustery days that requires a little more than the usual sweatshirt to feel cozy. Mid-morning, we turned on the oven to bake apples and to keep the chill out. We sat on the couch wrapped in blankets and scraped caramelized sugars from the bottom of our pans. Later, there was roasting butternut squash for a Canadian Thanksgiving dinner with friends and shaking our woollen coats from their winter storage for our walk to their house. Autumnal merry-making.

Yum! This must have made the apartment smell wonderful!
Sounds delightful. I love this time of year!
well that looks tasty. i always chop it into pieces but i donno why. i like your whole apple concept.
Yes, it's gotten so cold! Celebrating with a baked apple sounds like a delicious idea.
Are you Canadian? Or just enjoying the holiday? š
only by proxy–friends and cousins!
Can you please share your recipe for these apples? They look fantastic!
for what it's worth:
core the apple
add a small slice of butter into the spot where the core was…
add a scoop of pear jam (if you don't have any, you could just add some brown sugar)
sprinkle with cinnamon
bake until soft (i baked mine for about 30 mins–hence the split skin)!
it's more of a wing it/let the spirit move you kind of recipe than anything else!
Those look like the perfect snack. I have a feeling it's going to be cold and rainy again tomorrow. š
this all sounds so cozy and autumnal! I really am a bit jealous – it's just coming into spring here in Australia.
Yum! I recently had one at a restaurant and it was filled with almond paste and served with cinnamon ice-cream. So good! Instant autumn feeling.
An apple a day keeps the doctor a way.I love aplles especially the green one.
