Simpler Than Pie
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Thursday, September 29, 2011
Last week Daria mentioned apple pie and I sighed a little. I will probably get some pie this year when my mom or my sister makes it, but I have no time to make it myself.
Luckily, I remembered how much I love this easy tart recipe. I shared it last summer as a recipe for peach tart, and this is a slight adaptation for apple season. I think it’s perfect - crumbly crust and tender baked apples in sweet... READ MORE
Apple Time Is Here!
Posted by DariaSockey in Food on Wednesday, September 21, 2011
You can tell you’re in the Sockey home in September through November by sense of smell alone.
Apples are bound to be on the menu in some form or another several days a week. My top three are apple pie, apple crisp, and apple sauce.

The first time I spotted these in a store, I got excited. A grape-apple hybrid? What a cool idea! I didn’t know how it could even be possible, but I wanted to try it.
Then I read the package more closely. It turns out that Grāpples (apparently pronounced “grape-ehls”) are not a hybrid of grapes and apples. They’re just plain apples injected with grape flavoring. ... READ MORE
Best Tastes of Autumn
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Monday, September 15, 2008
Nothing says “autumn” to me like apple picking.
All through my childhood, apple picking was a tradition in my family. We’d wait for a nice day, pile in the van, and drive out to the orchard.
With so many of us working together it only took about fifteen minutes to pick several bushels of apples, but that was all the better. It gave us plenty of time to romp between the trees and enjoy the fall... READ MORE
