Baskets of Apples

I love going apple picking in the fall.  The apples are so red and crunchy.  Your basket is filled in no time and it hard not to fill many baskets.  

Check out the new fall gift baskets at www.uniquegourmetgiftbasket.com  They are filled with treats for cool autumn night.  

I love to cook and came across a great quick apple dessert that I have included.  Instead of using can filling, I will make my own  to make sure there are lots of chunks of apple.

Enjoy
