Everywhere you look, there’s signs that autumn has arrived. The heat is finally breaking and lower temperatures are slowing appearing in the forcast. Football fills our weekends and the apple selection at the market is overflowing with abundance. Now is the perfect time to head out to an orchard for some apple picking! I have to admit, this is the first year in quite a while where apple picking is not on our family bucket list. Since moving to Austin, we’re still adjusting to the the lack of seasonality because fall in Texas does not feel like fall — at all. I am definitely missing my favorite season, the idea of leaves turning, jacket weather and our annual apple haul. So I will have to settle with the smells of apple and cinnamon baking in my oven to get that fall vibe flowing. Or perhaps I can live vicariously through you… share your apple picking photos with me on Instagram (#thecakeblog) and your fall baking photos too!
