During the beautiful months of Autumn, the trees become bare as they lose their vibrant leaves, the air becomes cool, and the dark nights start to arrive. It's the time of year when we start to wrap up in our warm scarves and gloves before we go for a walk around town. When the coffee shops are full with guests who crave a savory hot drink, and when roaring fireplaces are lit, you know Autumn has arrived. During the months of Autumn, there are many delightful seasonal fruits available on the market, apples being one of them! Apples are delicious on their own, but can be even better when used to create a baked delight, or as a finishing touch to a festive meal. On those frosty days, we all fancy a nice warm delight, and the heavenly smell of warm baked apples coated with spices and sugar will easily put a smile on anyone's face and satisfy those cravings! There are many varieties of apples, and many uses of them. So I have dedicated this article to some of the most scrumptious apple treats that are sure to please!
