There's something about going apple picking (having grown up in New England) that gets one in the mood and prepared for the cold months to come. You simply cannot begin the fall and winter season without kicking it off with a good slice of apple pie or apple crisp. Not only does going apple picking help you get in the mood of fall, but it also gets you in the mood of giving, which is something that most of us should do more of anyway.
How does apple picking get us in the mood of giving? Well, if you (like my family did), buy a bag at the orchard, by the end of the day you end up with about 20 pounds of apples. Although my daughter (1 1/2 years old) can pack away apples in her belly better than anyone, she just isn't up to the task of eating close to her weight of them. So, we made apple pie, apple crisp, apple brown betty, apple pie again, apple crisp again and so on. What can you do but give them away?
Go give stuff away :)
