Apple Pudding Cake with Cinnamon Butter Sauce
It sure feels like fall around here after some record breaking 80’s temperatures last week; it reached 65 degrees for the high today here on the acreage. We turned on the heat for the first time, and as usual the fire alarms protest in chorus for about 60 seconds while my husband and I frantically run around the house opening windows and turning on ceiling and exhaust fans to air the house out! The dogs and the cats freak out and run for any place outside to escape the shrieking alarm sounds.
This happens every fall when we first turn on our heat, so we’ve officially entered the fall season on the acreage despite fall starting in September. The gardens will be shriveling up very soon. I’ve seen roses bloom in the Carolina’s late into November, so who knows!
