over the weekend we went to the aamodt’s apple farm in stillwater with tony’s parents and picked a few bags of apples to bring home. this place was amazing! apple barn, apple donuts, a band, and they have vineyards too! there were far more apples on the ground than in the trees but we still made it home with a good amount. i made apple crisp and apple pie bars and used the apples a ton in my cooking. fall is by far my favorite season. happy fall y’all! ...
