Au-tum-nal [aw-tuhm-nl]

Produced or gathered in Autumn


One thing you won't find in Palm Springs, Ca. ~ Autumn! I'm lovin' the change of seasons in NC, (and, well, the 365 days of SUNSHINE in PS were not too hard to take either...) where it's all about huggy sweaters on crisp fall days. Oh, and pumpkin muffins, and apple cake maybe a little butternut risotto...

Fresh Apple Cake

Whisk 3 eggs until foamy, then add:
1/2 cup canola oil
1 C sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
-Stir, then combine:
2 C flour
2 tsp saigon cinnamon- it's the best!
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp baking soda
add mixed dry ingredients to egg mixture.
stir just untill mixed, then add 3 cups of diced apple, no skin and 1 cup chopped walnuts. Bake in a bundt pan for 40 - 50 minutes at 350. Cool completely and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Huggy sweaters on crisp fall days. Yes.
Last night, fall made its presence known...wind that rocked the house, and my heart. Oh, how I love fall!
