The autumn crisp is on its way, which means it’s time for another kind of crisp: apples. Apple pies, apple cider, apple brews, apple donuts, applesauce, apple cobbler… yum. 🙌
Oh my gourdness, you can’t forget to mention pumpkin patches, either. Jack-o-lanterns, corn mazes, hayrides, haunted houses… festive. 👻
