Hello Everyone! Did you have a lovely weekend? This weekend was filled with beautiful weather, a fun afternoon with my husband and son, a relaxing and fun afternoon apple picking, and a visit with my whole family.

On Saturday, after picking apples, I made homemade applesauce. This is an applesauce recipe that’s made every year. My husband and children love this recipe! It’s a recipe that was adapted from my husband’s childhood Home Economic’s class many years ago. It’s very special to us all. You can find the recipe in my cookbook, “Plant Based Living for the Gluten Free Cook” sold on Amazon.

On Sunday, a delicious breakfast was had with my husband and our children. We enjoyed cinnamon and nutmeg waffles with our homemade applesauce along with breakfast sausages. Recipe below.

With all of the delicious apple varieties picked, like McIntosh, Macoun, Golden Delicious, we’ll be making apple pies, apple cake, more applesauce, apple muffins, baked apples, and maybe even a caramel apple or two. What apple recipes do you enjoy?
