Apple Picking Afternoon

Well, I was already able to cross a few things off my fall bucket list this weekend! My boyfriend's family lives on a lot of untouched land with hundred year old apple trees and enough trails through the woods & countryside to walk for hours.  His mom was nice enough to take a few pictures of our apple picking afternoon on Sunday. Look forward to many apple recipes coming soon!










I feel at home out on the farm! I borrowed an oversized flannel shirt & his mom's cowboy boots for my apple picking ventures since the heels I was wearing just weren't cutting it. I love how perfectly fall these pictures feel. We ended our apple picking labors with a glass of wine (a surprise- hidden in a cold well along the trail) under the old oak trees.  Thank you to my lovely boyfriend for being a good sport!

What's your favorite apple recipe? I'm going to need a few for all these apples! I love that you don't have to worry about pesticides since they all grow naturally there as they have for decades!

xoxo, lauren

  1. Those apples look scrumptious! What variety are they? My mind went immediately to apple pies and tarts but I'm afraid I haven't done any from-scratch pie-making myself (shame on me). My mum was always baking pies - I should have learned and should try to find her recipes. I love all the photos of you picking the apples with your boyfriend.

  13. I absolutely love your outfit! It's adorable! I've seen some really simple crock pot apple butter recipes lately. Also, home made apple sauce is soo much better than store bought!
