Apple Buns

apple buns!

In case you haven't heard we have an apple tree.  Which means... we've got a fridge full of apples!  We gave a bunch to John's mom shortly before we moved in and she made us some wonderful apple crisp out of them but we still had a full grocery bag left at our house afterwards... so if you are like us... with an abundance of apples at this time of year... might I suggest apple buns!

The recipe linked above recommends resisting the urge to add sugar or cinnamon to your apple mix.  I've made these twice now (the first time was a number of years ago though) but the first time I did add the sugar and cinnamon.  This time John told me to make it liked the recipe suggested... he agrees now that they could be even tastier with the addition of a little cinnamon and sugar for next year though.

We ended up bringing a dozen of our apple buns to our bible study and they were a big hit... we ended up leaving the extras with the host but I think there was only about 2 or 3 left in the end.

We've been cooking up other stuff from our garden already... here is our salsa.
