{apple roses}

Fall has officially arrived here in New England, and I am all about autumnal activities. This past week or so has featured a Mountain Day hike up the Mount Holyoke Summit, nature walks along the Nashua River, apple picking, the juggling of gourds, the drinking of cider, and many more fun fall festivities.

Last night, Gigi, Emma and I turned these apples, fresh off the tree, into...

...these beautiful, delicious works of art!

Below I've embedded the source of our inspiration, which includes more explicit directions on how to make these tasty treats.

This recipe is just a peek of all the adventure I've had during the first month of my second year at Mount Holyoke. A more thorough update to come!
