Fall in Michigan really does have its upsides (as long as you can overlook the dreary rainy days). The leaves turn gorgeous shades of red and yellow, apple cider becomes abundant everywhere you turn, root vegetables are bountiful at the farmer's markets and orchards are available for all your apple and pumpkin picking needs. Oh and let's not forget Halloween, pumpkin ales, pumpkin lattes, apple pie...the list goes on and on.
Last weekend I traveled to the distant land of Kalamazoo, MI (ok it was only 2 hours away), to partake in a day that Anne Marie and I cleverly titled "Fall Day." Fall Day entailed drinking apple cider, visiting an apple orchard, picking apples, and taking adorable photos with pumpkins (which you might have noticed over on our About aV page). Upon my return home, I realized I had more apples than I knew what to do with. Seemed like the perfect excuse to make apple pie!
