I love the smell of apple and cinnamon :) Hard to believe we're at ten years of the baking Friday tradition!! I think it all started with an apple pie :)
Hope you all have a lovely weekend. Thinking of you all and sending love and best wishes xx

Hi Chris I am having an apple themed baking day today too. I am going to make a couple of apple pies. We passed the fruit and vegetable stand yesterday and decided to stop and get some apples. I might also make some apple crisp. I have a great recipe for apple crisp and John and Kelly just love it so I might make some and split it with them. Everything looks so good. You guys did a great job again. It is so cool that the boys want to learn to bake. I think it is great that you are teaching them a skill they will be able to use in the years to come.

It is so great that Kayla is learning some new skills at school. I am sure she will come up with a lot of goodies for you guys to try on baking Friday. I still make butterscotch biscuits that I made when I was in high school!! And that was a long long time ago!!! But they were so good and they just became a family favorite.

Have a great week. Tell everyone John and I say a big hello to them.

What a great day, I can smell the apples/cinnamon. Mouth is watering. I've never been much of a baker, however, I do have two zucchinis in the garden which I'm going to makes muffins or a mini loafs. Team bakers, way to go! Thanks for sharing this wonderful family tradition. Hugs! Brooke
