Apple Pie and Apple Sauce Wow! Fall is on its Way

September marks the closing of Summer and now the dawn of Fall as it is right around the corner. For myself living in the tropics the cool and dry air is pressing against the warm tropic breezes with the constant threat of some kind of tropical storm but to the true Floridian we can feel the and see the early signs of Fall.

UN like our neighboring states who now are feeling the cooler temperatures and are seeing the apples and pumpkins and most of the fall fruits and berry's that bear in the trees and vines for this time of year. Our heighten since of fall is the dryer air. Sun not so bright and a warm dry breeze that covers our Sunshine State. So with all of this in mind I thought I would share some of my fine recipe's of fall baking with Apples
