Apples

It’s apple season.

My prayer partner, and good friend, shared a quick idea for a baked apple. Your mouth will water at this—

Pick a good apple: First Kiss, or Rave (they are the same thing) Cortland, Haralson, or Honeycrisp. The tarter the apple the more brown sugar —

Wash it and core it, slice it. I have an apple corer/wedge slicer. It works well for this. The apple peeler, corer, slicer is not necessary.

Stick it in a microwaveable dish, add a packet of maple/brown sugar instant oatmeal, some butter, and a bit more cinnamon and brown sugar.

Microwave two minutes on high, covered.

Enjoy. So simple!

The orchard near us, Apple Jacks, has apple donuts on the weekends. I think they are baked in St. Cloud (where my university is.) A sack of a dozen donuts is a great deal and there is nothing so tasty as apple donuts.

IMHO.

My mouth is watering. I think I’ll pick up some Haralson apples for a pie or two, too.

Firesides aren’t ready yet, nor are they at Apple Jacks. Sad face. I need to track them down, because the orchard that had them (Dumas) has closed. I seriously pondered a hike into their property to fetch some Firesides. They are literally rotting these days. Sad face.

Anyone know which orchard around here still has these delectable apples?

I want to know!
