I made baked apples for breakfast this morning. Yum. Do you store your apples any particular way to help them keep? I tend to just put mine in the fridge and they do well for some time, but if you have a secret to better longevity, I'd love to know it! I’m enjoying them.

They aren't even "here yet", I'll have to keep looking, now though, since you mentioned having some. Enjoy.

Mmmm! [edited to add: Neil hates raisins and any other dried fruit, and that's why it sounds bad to him. I don't have that problem, LOL!] 66 degrees here right now, but it's only 9:30. I think we're going back to 80 degree days all week. I can live with that. I'm not sure I'm *completely* ready to let go of summer just yet.

Maybe a touch of honey or molasses, if the apples are very tart. A few hours later, you've got something very yummy for dessert, topped with ice cream (go for it). Or top it with granola and walnuts for breakfast. Wish it was sweater weather here. We're having a rare sweaty day at the beach....
