falling for fall // apples & pumpkins

Happy Fall! I have some VERY exciting news! I won the Randolph Street Market Vintage Vernacular contest!!!!! Thank you to EVERYONE who voted for my photo! I cannot believe I WON!

I have decided to end fall week with something sweet. I love all the delicious treats that come with the change from summer to fall. A few years ago, my sister and I started making our pies from scratch at Thanksgiving. This year, I would love to make individual pies in mason jars. Apple and pumpkin, of course. Although truth be told, I am not really a fan of pumpkin pie. But apple? All over it.

What's a fall treat that you can't wait to bake this year?
And what do you prefer? Pumpkin or apple?

It's the first weekend of Fall! Hope you enjoy it! I want to get to a pumpkin patch ASAP!

Hope you enjoyed fall week! Don't forget to enter my Williams-Sonoma giveaway!
Giving away their apple cider, pumpkin bread & pumpkin butter!

I love pumpkin but apple cider is definitely up there too. A pumpkin spice latte is my favorite fall treat!

Congrats on winning!!! How fun is that?!? I'm the same way as you...I'll pass on pumpkin pie, but pecan pie is my favorite! :)

Cara said...

Great inspiration here! I love apples and pumpkin fairly equally. I'm excited to try making pumpkin whoopie pies and some pumpkin granola. Apples and cider are still my day-to-day favorite.

Yumm Pumpkin and Apple are my favorites. I cannot wait to start cooking with this yumminess. And congrats!

Heather said...

Congratulations! That is fantastic!

Congrats! I think I lean a little more towards apple, but I'll probably be on a pumpkin kick at some point this fall too. I can't wait to pick some apples and bake Smitten Kitchen's apple cake.

I think I need to make some apple pie this weekend. I was going to wait for my freshly picked apples but I might just have to grab some from the store and make it happen :)

Yum, this makes me hungry ~ can I choose both Apple and Pumpkin! This weekend my goal is to bake something inspired by Fall. We'll see how it turns out, I'm more of a cook than a baker ;)

Happy Weekend~

I love apple + pumpkin. Fall flavors are the best!

Jenny @ Practically Perfect... said...

Congrats on winning - that's awesome! I really love both apple and pumpkin pie, but if I had to choose, I'd say that pumpkin wins by just a smidgen :-)

I love this post! You are such a talented graphic designer, and then to add delicious food on top of it - yeah well, needless to say, you're getting added to my Reader! :) haha.

I can't wait to try making my mom's famous cashew stuffing this year. I don't know how successful it will be, but I've got to be able to carry on the legend of its deliciousness someday, so I better start practicing!
